Can't refuse anything in the corporate world or else you will be the "difficult" employee. Especially can't refuse something that effects coworkers in the same way (and who will likely not refuse).

Unfortunately that's the corporate world with no unions. Suck it up, or look elsewhere. Odds are you will have to adopt the extra workload, and HOPEFULLY they will make up for it later via raise (but if they really wanted to reimburse you, they would outright).

Hopefully company doesn't realize that they can get away with one less person permanently and start cutting/taking advantage. Recently left a job that did just this. Don't be a pushover and let them take advantage of you.

Is your boss a high level manager or are upper managers also taking part of your boss' duties?
