Is it ever the right time to leave?

MDs always push this idea that "you should've left when you weren't so entrenched in your current deal / role"...but when does anyone actually have a lull in their staffing to leave? Seems like such a BS excuse to try to shame anyone who ends up leaving the role. Shouldn't 2 weeks be enough for them to be up to speed?
