New Here's the thing about company loyalty.
The company does not reciprocate. That's why they pay you.

People leave, and they don't always leave at a convenient moment. While you might feel bad about leaving, I would suggest that although such a notion paints you as a person of noble mind, it shouldn't be a factor in whether or when you actually DO leave.

New You are absolutely right
Last time I was laid off it was right before a holiday weekend, it killed everyone's holiday.

I just had a meeting with my boss where he told me how much the bonus is, how much they appreciate me, and that they are giving me stock options because lately my performance has been really good. It makes it hard for me to go to my boss next Tuesday or Wednesday and say I am leaving. I am going to do it but it will be hard.
