Unfortunately that's not how it works.
Boss turns around and says "new responsibilies. Get after them." You're especially fucked if the work is the type of tasks you are already responsible for.
Sure, you can say no, or slow play it, but that just means you'll either get a shitty review or get fired.
I'm not justifying this, I'm recounting what often happens.
Downvotes are hilarious. Doesn't matter if you line it, it's how it happens around the world.
The downvotes are because you’re the kind of rug your boss cleans his boots on, making it worse for everybody in the company. You’re the problem employee.
Nope, just aware how the real world works.
When this happens my response is to go find another job
No where in my comment did I say I felt it was a good thing, or acceptable. It's just common. You assumed I am cool with it cause it fits your worldview
Edit Tell me: you think you're just going to say "no, I'm not gonna take on new or increased tasks" , and come out successfully at the end of the year? (In review, raise, or continued employment?)
The only move is to leave or do the work
