I'm sure it is an emotional decision for these players - which I can say, I didn't think it would be, until it happened to me.... ('cept there was a lot less money involved and few other options!)!!
I worked for what was one of the best hi-tech/computer companies ever and never thought about leaving, until -- while consulting at the client site for about 14 months, our local office relocated and all my stuff was just tossed into an empty cube... management changed and my boss was now a couple of states away... I just felt orphaned...
Never thought about quitting, until that point in time. But, the emotions ran hard!! (and I hired on with the client...).
