History PlayingWith / BeleagueredBureaucrat

* '''Reconstructed''': The organization hurries to fix the hole Bob's resignation caused, but it only has enough resources to do hire Charlie and Daniel because Erica in HR is also overworked and can't do a thorough study of the initial problem with the time she has. This results in only a slightly improved workload situation for Charlie and Daniel, enough to keep Bob's department running without immediately breaking down but still overworked once they're assigned everything Bob had been working on.

* '''Justified''': Bob's job is just naturally very busy and stressful, leaving him little time to help the heroes.

* '''Exploited''': ???

* '''Exaggerated''': Every time Alice wants help from Bob, he has a busy schedule to do.

* '''Played For Drama''': After Alice quietly and politely files the request for the weapon, Bob tells her sullenly to come back in three days. When Alice says "[[MatterOfLifeAndDeath This is serious!]]" Bob, looking increasingly frazzled as he hears Alice explain the gravity of the situation, with a face that says that this isn't the first request like this he's heard, snaps his pencil, gets out of his chair, upends the desk, and goes on a ten minute rant about how he hasn't slept in two days because of trying to get various items out to people who also desperately need them, followed by [[GreenEyedMonster a brief rant about how Alice gets all the promotions/attention/respect for her actions in the field while he's stuck behind a desk all day.]] After this, he storms out, leaving a stunned Alice in his wake, who now needs to formulate a plan as to how she's going to get the weapon she needs quickly.

* '''PlayedForLaughs''': As Alice walks in the door, she is nearly buried under a literal pile of paper which was lying just outside the door... and has now crashed into similar piles lying all around the floor. This is apparently Bobs workload ''for the day''. When she apologises to Bob, Bob calmly says "sorry, little busy, could you maybe come back later about that weapon? Yes its on the list; ''yes'' I know thats the ultimate weapon needed to defeat [[ItsAllAboutMe Me Me]] [[TheMagnificent the Evil,]] you're only the third person to file a request for an ultimate weapon this week."
