Work Drama

We have been in the process of getting bought out at my company.  Originally, we were supposed to get split from our corporate office, where they did EVERYTHING for us and they are located in Arizona, so we started taking on some more tasks as an office in preparation for the change.  At the same time we took on these tasks, on of the girls at our office left leaving us even more short handed.  I was answering all inbound phone calls(along with 2 other girls who are in Roseburg and  Astoria), which I hated, lets be honest.  After the rearranging of job duties I was taken off of inbound phones(thank goodness!) and moved to doing more outbound phone calls(scheduling).  With that rearranging, it seemed to piss some people off.  Nobody in the office likes to answer the phones.  I have also been there the shortest length of time so the fact that I am able to get off the phones and other people either have to stay on inbound phones or are now on inbound phones created a little animosity towards me.  Although, I wasn't aware until yesterday.  I had my suspicions that certain people were a bit upset about the change but yesterday it was made clear.

1) Yesterday one of the girls was asked to backup phones when needed(due to her hour allotments being a little screwy), she put up a fight with the boss lady and in the midst of the arguing about it flat out said, "why can't Sam get on phones?"  Which may not seem a big deal, but I know from this comment there has been some "venting" about me being able to get off phones.

2) A couple days ago one of the ladies went to another one of us and tried to start some shit talking by saying, "Don't you think Jamie treats Sam differently than everyone else?"  The girl this was being said to became the bigger person and said she wasn't going to discuss that with her and walked away.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!

I've done absolutely nothing to these women and I know it's just a bitterness coming out but grow up.  I'm here to do my job and do a good job at that.  I do not want to be involved in the drama and I do NOT want to be the source of the drama so act your age ladies.
