The appropriate thing.
What that is depends on how vital the employee is to your business and why they threatened to resign. If some low-level worker with hundreds or thousands of peers doing essentially the same function threatens to resign over being asked to work 15 minutes overtime, then you might want to say "Okay. So are you giving two weeks notice, or should I call in someone to finish out your shift now?"
However, if the Vice President of Sales threatens to resign over a legitimate grievance, then you should probably react a bit differently.
Alternate View
There is merit to the above, but the above is lacking in terms of an administrator's view of the value of people. I can understand from the point of view of absolute efficiency that you might want to spend as little time as possible with someone you view as a menial worker. Think of Market Basket for example. Despite what you might think of the struggles they went through recently, does it seem from the response of all levels of employees that people there are treated in a harsh and dismissive way when they express distress or anger? There are probably few managers there who think of their workers as menial. I'm not talking about coddling people who complain endlessly. If a company is big enough, it should have some staff who know how to deal with human resources and personnel difficulties of every sort, and it is often appropriate to allow people to be human. If someone's anger can be appeased and you can prevent a worker from becoming a bad ambassador in the job market, everyone wins. When people react rashly or out of anger, the outcome is rarely good.
