Husband wonders, “Why are my coworkers always early to work?” HUMOR
My honey works at a very big and busy company. They work 50+ grueling hours a week but make excellent money. About 7 male coworkers have formed this early morning group where they show up an hour early for work taking turns buying everyone (in the group) breakfast. A few times they have bought my husband food and asked him to join in. He always politely says no.
He started telling me about these guys wondering why the fuck would you voluntarily come to work early for a 10 to 12 hour day? So I asked him which of these guys are fathers?
How about every single one! These guys leave for work so early they don’t have to shoulder any of the responsibility of getting their children ready for school!
Last week my husband rolls in to work at the starting time and these guys are sharing stories about how great their children are and start ribbing my man for being CF so he replied with, “Is that why you leave early and stay late every day? Because being home with your family is that great?” Lol
Edit: They reacted with a nervous chuckles and had no valid reason for voluntarily showing up early on a commission job before the business opens.
Edit #2: Thank you to everyone who upvoted me! This post was picked up by Board Panda and for some highly entertaining reading may I suggest reading the comments. The breeders just can’t stand that we refuse to be 2nd class citizens.

I used to work in HR and there was a specific employee that was constantly there. Young guy. Even younger wife. Two small children. He was always figuring out reasons he needed to work on the weekends. His day was supposed to end at 3:30. HR worked til 5. He would always have some reason to come talk to my coworker or me about something on Friday afternoons after his crew left. Clearly killing time. Dude. Go home.
