jerked around
Treated with disrespect
To be jerked around is to be treated dismissively or manipulated—led on, given the runaround, or subjected to delays and broken promises: I've been jerked around by this company for months.
The image is of being pulled in different directions without consideration.
Someone who jerks you around wastes your time or strings you along without delivering what they promised.
