That is an unprofessional response. I hope it wasn’t as crude and direct of a response as you said in the post. People, especially partners, don’t forget this kind of behavior. Sorry to say, but unless you are a rockstar which based on your response doesn’t look likely, if layoffs happen, that partner will recommend you.
Makes your response even worse.

This is a stupid post by an immature young adult that didn’t happen.
Let’s be 100% real. The ask is that you get trained on key topics that person is leading to provide some bridge support. Probably means attending a few meetings a week, learning a spreadsheet or two.
The ask is help support team, not double your workload. If you’re at 100% already, the correct response from a mature adult is- got it, would love to support the team, right now my bandwidth is already stretched on xyz, can we talk about pieces we can deprioritize together to support the new work.

Been there before. I didn't ask for comp adjustment. Instead I got screwed into working two positions for the same pay. Then the sabbatical person returned, quit, and I was left with doing both jobs for same pay. Thankfully I got my degree soon after and another job weeks later. I put in notice and called in for most of the two weeks, just showed up on the last day to train the replacement. Karma.
There are people available in most skill areas in the firms now there is no shortage at this point. Probably the Partner should have got another person to replace that role instead of pushing the existing team member.
OP based on what you relayed it was a bad choice of behavior. In Consulting your debt will be paid both ways unless you are on a special golden chair where there are not many people. If you would have seen that as an opportunity might have helped in the YE.

In OP's defense, too many people in this thread are assuming a "team player" dynamic exists in OP's organization. Absent any more information, that's too broad an assumption. It's not clear that OP will get any compensation, of any sort, for what sounds like a huge extra effort. People are motivated more strongly by carrots than sticks, but they have to believe the carrot will actually be there.
If you read my other posts, you'd realize that I don't think OP gave the right response. Please be more thorough before over-reacting.

D5, you realize there are almost no boomers left in consulting? It was cute 5 years ago.
It's called a stretch assignment. I think a better stretch assignment for you is to update your resume for exit opportunities.
