Busy man, internal mail spam-canned?

Summary: Sirius managers keep saying they're too busy to reply to E-mail from staff; so what are they doing all day? If they don't even respond to staff, then it's not clear if they're busy at all, they could just as well pretend to be "busy" by not doing anything at all, then use that as excuse or "evidence" of the busy-ness.
