The company will deal with each person individually and decide whether to let them leave or make an effort to retain those they deem valuable.
Unless you know you are an invaluable rockstar threatening or intimating you would quit is not a place to negotiate from as they are more likely to call your bluff. Remember, they are counting on people leaving.

Very valid points, SM.
One of the reasons I'm glad to be a fed employee...I'll never get rich here but I'm damn comfortable and ya can't beat the security.
