When Mapbox leadership fought our union they appealed to our sense of convenience. Over a fraught two months, they made the relentless case for how inconvenient everyone's life would become if our union were allowed to continue, let alone be officially recognized. Leadership put their own twists on classic anti- union phrases like “a union would slow us down and make it harder for us to innovate,” “the union would make it hard to remove toxic people from your team,’ or “we want to fix these structural problems you've highlighted, but it would be harder to implement solutions if we have to have everything approved by the union.” Leadership was effectively outlining the inconvenience of no longer being able to rule the company by decree.
