I will hand in my resignation, after a over a decade in the same company
I've been passed over for promotion
Suffered from depression
Had to deal with clients from hell
Why do I still feel like a deserter?

Sitting in the same boat right now, but my time will hopefully come in january.
Of course we are defecting, but as you said: They dumped every mess on you and rewarded you with a place at the end of the line. You owe them nothing. Sic semper tyrannis.
