Some PLEASE explain the Seth Mitchell experiment?

[Silkeyjoe]

People work jobs that they are shitty at all the time. We are surrounded by mediocrity everyday.

He wanted to make money and he made money. He wanted to be a boxer and he is a boxer.

Based on the majority of your posts @ykdadamaja I bet you suck at what you do too.

But I admit that. I admit, quite readily, that I know jack-spit about my work... I honestly and truly know very little. A finance guy in a tech job. Go figure?!?!

Seth Mitchell, and his trainers/handlers, on the other hand, made us want to believe he was the second coming of Mike Tyson. He was not even the second coming of Bert Cooper- all due respect to Bert Cooper.

So you try to tell ur boss or who pays you that you are shit at your job and they should higher someone else?

I found Mitchell suspect from the go. I was never impressed with him but a lot of people here spoke highly of him so I figured I might be missing something. I did feel bad when things fell apart for him as he seemed like a genuinely nice guy in interviews. God, his lack of chin was bad, I wonder if he is still recovering.

Seth was no different to Michael Grant. It happens.

Seth Mitchell stinks

Americans love their chaotic free swinging heavyweights, well hbo seems to anyway Mitchell maximized what he had but it was clear he was going to burn fast but bright while he lasted. Much more a Cliff Etienne or Derrick Jefferson than even a Grant. Once he was out on his feet and lucky to escape the 1st round with Witherspoon the clock had already been ticking.

Refreshingly, yes.... yes, I say that all the time. But they know and understand that it is a learning curve for now- and I didn't bullshit them.

It's "ok" to not know, or be incompetent at your job- you are less threatening.
