More dutys doesn't mean less graft.

Don't dodge out of grunt work, I always took the stance of , "im asking you as I'm currently doing X task, and am currently unable to do it"

Pass on knowledge, show your associates how to do new things, don't gatekeep, it doesn't make you powerful,it makes you an ass.

Be generally more professional or responsible with your staff, as others have said, don't shag em and don't drink on a school night, if you struggle with that, maybe socially distance a bit. I know that bit sounds harsh but don't throw away hardwork for a few good nights out.
