If you were simply reading the daily Calvin and Hobbes strip at the time, there was almost no sign that any of this was going on, aside from the occasional disdain for the modern world that had always been one of the strip's hallmarks.
Additional Context
Watterson wrote in the Calvin and Hobbes 10th anniversary collection that Calvin's father is a patent attorney, like Watterson's own father was, although there's all of one strip that ever specifically refers to that. Meanwhile, Calvin's mother stays home in a largely fruitless attempt to keep Calvin under control.
Calvin and Hobbes, naturally, is focused almost exclusively on Calvin and the world around him. While there are a few strips about other characters, particularly early in the comic's run, its focus rarely wavers for long.
As such, any joke about Calvin's father's office life or his attitude towards his job tends to be a glancing shot.
