dumped on
Given unfair burden
To be dumped on is to be treated unfairly or burdened with unwanted responsibilities, complaints, or blame: I'm always getting dumped on at work.
The phrase evokes having garbage or waste thrown on you—being made to feel like a receptacle for others' problems.
It can also mean to be heavily criticized: The critics really dumped on that film.
