There are two sides to every story, but this email exchange between Mahalo founder and CEO Jason Calacanis and one of his (now former) employees is a lesson in how not to handle a resignation. Jason says this was a private exchange and that he was just being honest with Evan. Evan says Jason can't control his emotions.

Or, don't trash them at all and organize drinks with the team to see them off so that the rest of your employees know you care. Read from the bottom up.
