The story

While driving to work one day, the manager of a public records office (never addressed by name and hereafter referred to as the Boss) sees a man standing on an overpass. The Boss's office is in a building on top of a large hill completely inaccessible by foot, and he employs three people: Ernest, an overweight and neurotic klutz; Rocky, who dresses and acts like a mobster; and Vivian, his verbose, flirtatious, and bluntly honest receptionist. To help with an upcoming increase in workload, the Boss posts a job opening for a fourth employee, but the only person who applies is the man from the overpass, the titular Bartleby.
