Both this list, particularly #1, and his email response to the guy who resigned reek of resentment to me. Jason Calacanis doesn't present himself as someone who is truly comfortable and happy, in my opinion, which seems ironic given the level of success he appears to have achieved.

The great people I have worked for, one of whom I still work for, would never react that way. I admire those people, but I could never admire someone who acts like Jason Calacanis and I go out of my way never to work for people like him.

At it's most cut and dried a job is an agreement between you and someone: you give them your work, they give you money. They don't own you and beyond your obligation to fullfil your side of the work/money bargain you don't owe them anything in my opinion.

That being said, however, I do think it's important to do work that fullfils and inspires you and benefits you in more ways than just getting money for work you do.
