A lot of companies have those non-competition clauses in their contracts. I tend to ignore them, I'm working in my chosen field, so don't expect me to actually remain unemployed or switch professions because you think it suits you.
And yes I realize it goes against the contract, but as far as I'm concerned, if I've been downsized or my job has been migrated, this will no longer apply.
I was once sent to a job interview by one of those staffing companies, I showed up and we started talking about the position. Seems that the list of skills they wanted wasn't anything like mine. I had brought a copy of my resume, as I always do, and compared it with the one they received, it was quite different in the skills section.
It was at this point we both concluded that I didn't have their required skillset. The interview ended as it began, very professionally, although he said his next phone call would be less than professional for wasting both of our times.
Of all of the things that I have learned, one of the most important is nothing is impossible. I fully believe we WILL travel faster than light someday. Maybe not in our lifetimes, but it will happen. As for those who wish to theorize it's impossible, keep in mind that our science re-invents itself every century or so, as we discover new technologies/laws of physics that change our perception of how the Universe really works.

Maybe the civilization was doing some maintenance work on their Dyson Sphere.
