Of course what I ask needs to be reasonable, but assume it is.

I think this really depends on what you're asking me to do. If you're paying me as a floor-sweeper but asking me to do something that's above my pay-grade because you're too cheap to hire someone else to do it then ya, I'd probably tell you to shove it (professionally of course) and happily take my severance if you fired me for it.
