has had a lot of work to do: "To be swamped with work" is an expression meaning that someone "has too much work" or "is overwhelmed by the work that needs to be done". For example: I'm swamped with emails right now, I don't have time to reply to them all. Bruno is saying that Bob has far too much work to do, and needs some assistance.

has been working extremely hard: "To be swamped with work" does not express the idea of "working hard", but rather having a lot of work.
has been sent to work at another company: "To be swamped with work" does not describe "being sent to work somewhere". Although Bob is a consultant, and does work with other companies, this is not what Bruno is referring to in his email to Luna.
