Is it perhaps a bit extreme to say that because they work they should not have gotten a puppy? There is nothing I have read to indicate so. I don't think the poster implied that they are excluding the pup when they are home, just wanted help with the racket at night. Most of us work. A kennel run with a shelter is excellent for daytime if it is not possible to have someone allow the pup out to relieve itself half way through the day, however that certainly does not mean they shouldn't have a pup.
