You gotta get rid of him.’ ”Greco did not fire Brenner.A year later, while Greco was on a leave of absence following an injury, Anastasi fired him and said, according to Greco, “I told you to take care of something, and you didn’t.”Thomas Greco, 51, has filed a complaint with New York City’s Human Rights Commission and with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, according to the Post.
