When you get home, I am sure he must be so excited to see you and that is why he is barking - and after all day of being in that crate, he wants to get out and interact/play with you. I think T-Gal said it perfectly; "You are the most important person in their world".

I feel so bad about him, I can't wait for my knock off time and then rush back to feed him & play with him. Yeah, you are right, he is very excited to see us the moment we step into the house, at this moment, he won't bark, but he will wag his tail for few minutes.
Any impact to his development if this were to carry on? Or does spending more time with him after work make up for the lack-of-interaction during the day?
Thanks again for all the advice.
