Bureaucrats

Bureaucrats in the 31st century are usually members of the Central Bureaucracy handling financial, legal, and other business matters in New New York, or Product Inspectors at Mom's Friendly Robot Company working in Tijuana, although this is less common.

These people are often discriminated by others, and have been described as "faceless bean counters, who blend into the woodwork". There is a numerous list of bureaucrats, and Hermes Conrad (bureaucrat grade 36) is the most wellknown of them.

They use a numerical ranking system, where lower numbers outrank higher ones, and a special ranking for one-hour bureaucrats, such as Turanga Leela, the Li'l Bureaucrat grade. They seem to respond to Number 1.0, who is probably their leader.

Communication
They communicate by pneumatic tubes, possibly ramifications of the Tube Transport System, which run not only throughout the Central Bureaucracy Building, but have terminals at their assigned businesses, such as the. At the center of the building is the Central Filing, where most incoming messages are deposited for later sorting. Employees at the Central Bureaucracy Building use a Slowmobile as a means of transport and Cubicle Rooms as offices.

Bureaucrat Song
There is also a Bureaucrat Song, assumably written by Hermes Conrad and performed by himself alongside several other bureacrats and co-workers.
