That's called doing your job though. Do you just regularly... tell your boss to fuck off with their requirements?
In an environment where software engineers are being laid off by the thousands, I don't think anyone's going to hand in a resignation letter just because the prestigious ad company they're working for is... making them force ads on people.
Many of them will also have to go back to India if they quit their jobs. What's that, a 10x difference in income?
Also, it's probably only a handful of people who are implementing this 'enhancement.' It's not like a small team has any real bargaining power.
