After reading all the posts concerning this topic I couldn't just stand by idly and watch. It appears the reason for my brother's silence on the matter has been miscontrued. He decided to stay silent so as not to embarrass Anthony, not because he or Whitaker have made any mistakes or been unfair in the handling of this situation.
I have 'worked' with Anthony for three years and have seen examples , time after time, of the gross incompetence and laziness with which he handled his personal and business life. I disagree with Death and Chooman posting regarding his personal affairs, that's his business, but feel I must inform you of his work with Whitaker. His inter office maneuvering and lying caused every single member of Whitaker Consulting to back my brother's decision to fire him. This decision was taken after nearly two years of trying to integrate Anthony as a useful member of this company. However his non-existent work ethic, his greed and his time spent deflecting his mistakes onto others finally made the working environment here unbearable. One of our directors already resigned after being unable to handle the stress imposed every day by Anthony's conduct. Anthony has been very happy to take from Whitaker Consulting; he drew a large salary, had a company car, not to mention the large petty cash withdrawals and loans he made. However if asked what he did for Whitaker Consulting, short of nearly burn out some of our best staff with his constant delegation of his jobs to them, I cannot think of a thing. His unwarranted rants and pissy fits with the staff, interestingly only made when my brother was not present, are legendary. I have yet to meet anyone who has worked with Anthony at Whitaker who isn't overjoyed to see the back of him. I would like to be able to say something positive about my experiences working with him but I can't think of one thing.
I could go into details but I have wasted enough time on Anthony. I am fed up with his hollow boasts and his lack of loyalty. I can also understand how people might believe his story, we fell for his lies and his plays for sympathy for three years. I am also sure that in a few months his current employers will be saying something similar on this board. A leopard can't change it's spots. This has nothing to do with him personally. It's business.
