If your boss had to cut you off the team so that he/she could make their money, they would not feel as bad as you're feeling for having your own back.

You're a good soul for "feeling bad", but you're smart for looking elsewhere based on the memo.

That's how employeed people look for better jobs. They take time off from work to go to interviews etc. Its reality. Don't feel bad. Everyone does it.
