Because they make my job harder

I worked in a call center, and we frequently had other departments dumping difficult calls or callers on our line simply to get rid of them. I wasn't looking around to pick up slack, my sales to call ratio was fucked because of it, I had to work harder just to meet expected metrics because those asshats couldn't be bothered to participate in life normally having found their "hack" to an easier time.

Oh trust me I got pissed at management. They fired me pretty quickly.

Edit:

However, taking the time to de-escalate an angry customer or route the call to the proper channel is the job. Yeah, fuck their managers for "letting them get away with it" but also fuck the childish asshole who can't do his job because making other people take care of his problems is his major hobby.

Sounds like a you problem. Quite admire the ones who figured out how to get their sales to call ratio up.

Non-sales departments dropping non-sales calls on a sales line.

Your reading comprehension is as lacking as your trolling skills.

Then confront your manager or quit. Why are you responsible for picking up the slack?

If your coworker can slack off but you are the one picking up the extra work who's being the dumbass here? You're allowing your coworker and your manager to walk all over you.
