They’re not suckers if they get raises and/or promotions. Then they are being fairly compensated for their time and commitment, and have no reason to complain, right? It’s only a problem if there’s no reward for all that extra work.

Well then you have the opposite problem. "employees with kids are being paid 20% less than their non-kid-having counterparts. what type of discriminatory policy is causing this?"

  I know I'm going to catch flack for saying this, but married men rarely complain about this. They usually know they're not working as hard as their single, or otherwise less family-occupied, counterparts and as such cannot expect the same career trajectory. It's a trade-off and usually a conscious one.

Or maybe they like what they do and don't have much else going on, and are happy to fill their time with more work.

  That would make them suckers.

    I literally write programs in my spare time for free. Perhaps that makes me the ultimate sucker. If I do some of that for my employer out of my own free will, it’s no worse.
