You're employer has counted on you for years, that's good. But then your office manager runs into a situation that could be made better if you agree to change your schedule - then they don't have to let anyone go.
I don't think you should be *expected* to change your shift, but I don't think there's any harm in asking you if you would mind changing - seniority or not. I think you are over-reacting to a minor situation.
Now, if they were truly FORCING you to change your shift from days to nights, then you'd have a right to be upset.
Just talk to them (in a professional, friendly, un-emotional way), they aren't mind readers, even if you've been there a long time. I'm sure that they would prefer to have you stay a happy employee, but your *expectation* of preferential treatment sort of stinks.
IIN for my employer to change my shift to accommodate a new employee?

It wasn't "wrong" for your boss to ask you.
