I've had valuable employees in previous lives who were upset that they didn't get asked to leave immediately when they turned in their two weeks' notice. In a couple cases, worthless employees had been "encouraged" to move on and were immediately exited upon giving notice... but the valuable employees who are moving on felt abused because they didn't get a two week vacation like the slackers. Whether I should've or not, I felt bad about not treating them the same.
This is one of the costs of being a valuable employee.
The compensation for being a valuable employee is supposed to be, well, that they are better compensated for it. If you've done that, then you have nothing to feel bad about. If you haven't done that, then that's something much worse to feel bad about.
