Thanks for the replies. I appreciate them. A few more details:

He was hired in September with the expectation he would be employed until at least December. Our project got extended until the middle of next year, and I told him as much in early November.

He was a good employee, but a little high maintenence. He was late a few times, had to leave early a few times, whereas the rest of my guys had no such issues. While here, he preformed well. I had no major issues with him, and tried to be as flexible as possible. I have always believed a good employee is a happy employee and vice versa.

If he left angry it would make little to no difference. He could badmouth me, the job, and the company, and I would still have applicants beating down my door. I have way more people wanting the job than I have spots to fill.
