I work part-time at night in retail with mostly males. We close up and leave anywhere between 10 and 10:30 pm, where the parking lot if basically empty and it's really dark(lights in the parking lot are not working). Usually we(me and other closing manager) walk out at the same time, but lately we've had different projects and construction going on. For the last week, the other closing manager(all males) has told me to just go, walk out to my car alone and he'll be leaving later on.
As a woman, it's been drilled into my mind to never walk alone. You always use the buddy system and I always make sure other employees get to their car safely. Is this only a female way of thinking?
The guys I work with don't seem to care and think I'm "paranoid". I'm curious to know if this is a typical male thought or just the guys I work with? Do you think it's fine to just have a coworker or other employee leave alone at night or do you think it's better to leave at the same time/at least watch to make sure they make it safely to their car?

Put the internet to work for you.
