We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Staying in the office till 10-10:30 PM on a daily basis is a testament to the fact that your office lacks WLB and has a bad culture.
You too would have been wishing too leave early in you A0/A1/A2/A3 days but couldn't. Now, when you are at a position to make things better, do them, make law firms a better places to work.
What is the jump in responsibilities like? What do you look for in your A0s?
I would definitely like to avoid the (admittedly) toxic environment that you are creating (I say this as a person who does the work cause you will create antagonism towards peers and toxicity in the team).
Rather than taking this approach, try being an adult or a responsible senior and educate the incoming juniors.
