I spent 12 years at same company. There were points where I was a key person and if I left it would cause them big problems. I stayed loyal when company had financial struggles even when we had a 15% pay cut.

My reward for my loyalty? - I was made redundant just before Christmas when no one was hiring and they gave me the minimum amount they could and ripped me off on holiday allowance because they were legally allowed to do that. I (same as other people) was kicked out the door like a criminal.

Moral of story. A job is a two way thing. They owe you nothing and you owe them nothing. Be selfish - do whats best for you
