dumping on
Verbally piling onto
Dumping on someone means criticizing, blaming, or unloading problems onto them, often unfairly or excessively: Everyone's been dumping on me today.
The image is of treating someone as a receptacle for unwanted material—complaints, blame, or emotional burdens.
Stop dumping on the new guy; it's not his fault.
