1. Professionals are expected to develop and grow
Your colleagues are not unlike you. They aspire to grow, develop, and in many cases, also climb into positions with new challenges and responsibilities. This is human nature, and it's expected. Even if your peers or supervisors act pouty or irritated when you announce you're leaving, realize that this is probably just them thinking about the pain in the rear your departure may create for them short-term (or wishing that they were you right about now).
2. If the tables were turned, the company probably wouldn't feel guilty
Think about it. If your employer were facing budget cuts or layoffs, and your job was going to be among those impacted, do you think that your managers or the HR director would spend endless hours wringing their hands with guilt before they alerted you of the layoff? Probably not. Sure, on a personal level they may feel badly. We're all human, after all. But they'd surely realize that this is business, and in business, difficult decisions sometimes need to be made.
