What's the difference between "working hard / going the extra mile" and being taken advantage of?

My current company laid my senior accountant off (due to not meeting EBITDA targets). I disagreed with the decision but it happened anyway. Now I am the only person in the accounting department and expected to do my senior accountants job in addition to my own.

The week after he was laid off I received an offer to work for a former boss at a different company so I won't be here for much longer.

If you’re doing the work of two without the title or extra compensation, you’re being taken advantage of.

What's the threshold? I was in a different position where one person's job was divided up between myself and 2 other people (so I basically got 1/3 of an extra job).

It feels exploitative. I am fine with picking up the slack temporarily to be a team player but where is the limit? It feels like a spectrum

A question from a youngster. Is working at a big big company with slightly low pay better or working at a much smaller company with higher pay better?

In the future, after a few years, let’s say I’m at a small company and want to switch to big big company, will the “small names” hurt my chance to get into the big doors?

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.
