Thoughts on this nonsense?

For context – Been with my company for 5 years climbing the ranks from working as a cashier to handling the entire organizations analytics, corporate dev/M&A, and FP&A. In this time my salary has increased from ~$40K to $55K. It finally came to a head where I asked to be raised to $75K and was told best they can do is $62.5K. Told them this doesn’t work and I’m planning on walking to which my boss responded that anything less than 4-6 weeks notice would not be taken graciously and, in essence, I would be dead to him. So my questions are – is this just douchebaggery to try to squeeze a bit more time out of me? And am I shooting myself in the foot not being able to rely on them for a reference in the future?
