"Yes, we are going to make your job six times less efficient and substantially more difficult, while simultaneously removing your main incentive for working here. No, you will not receive a raise or any other form of olive branch from us, management, in exchange for the fact that we have measurably reduced your quality of life. No, we are not negotiating this."

If any job I ever had did this, technical or otherwise, I'd leave too. Especially if you were going to rub salt in the wound and pick Go. It's akin to making someone mine coal with a rock instead of a machine.
