>Instead of an interview process, workers faced a brutal, daily ritual known as the "shape-up" (in North America) or the "call-on" (in the UK).

>How the Daily "Shape-Up" Worked
>Every morning between 4:00 AM and 7:00 AM, hundreds of men would crowd around dock gates, pierheads, or factory yards hoping a ship had arrived or a shift needed filling.
>• The Selection: A hiring boss or foreman (sometimes called a "ganger") would stand on a box or behind a gate and look over the crowd. They would arbitrarily point at the biggest, healthiest-looking men to pick them for the day's work.
>• The "Scramble": In many ports, the foreman wouldn't even pick people individually. He would throw metal tokens or brass tags into the desperate crowd. Men would literally fight, scramble, and tackle each other on the ground to catch a tag. If you caught one, you could work that day. If you didn't, you went home penniless.

they say to apply online so they can background check you and you can’t lie. it disappeared because everyone was lying in job interviews. literally ask the same boomer that told you to shake their hand. they will say lie about your experience and shit. so they know why too and it’s their fault as usual
