Loyalty shouldn't be thought of as synonymous with ongoing employment. Loyalty is staying true to the deal you made when you were hired. And for most people, that's at-will. Going above and beyond the call of duty as an employee is great, but that should be out of symbiosis, not sacrifice. You can be loyal to a company and to your colleagues while moving on to a new job. If you're advancing on the world, you may well find ways to send opportunities to the people and businesses you've worked with in the past. Likewise, good employers (companies and bosses) are loyal by putting people first, even when the employment relationship is ending.
