I Was a Kelly Girl in the 70s, When Being Chased Around the Desk by Your Boss Was Just Part of the Job
Office Life in the Bad Old Days
I was a Kelly girl back in the 1970s, when everybody just went with the idea that occasionally being chased around the desk by a horny supervisor was part of the job.
In those days, all of the bosses, supervisors and managers were men. And while most of them weren’t ass-grabbing dirty-talking handsy bastards, some of them were.
The Attack of the Handsy Bastards
Nobody was outraged about this. None of my supervisors at Kelly Girl ever told me I didn’t have to put up with that crap. But why would they? I never bothered to report it to them.
On the job, I’d just deflect Mr. Grabby Hands with a joke and keep moving.
“Me too” was decades in the future.
Back then, everybody had a “boys will be boys” attitude about men who talked suggestively to you, made a pass at you or grabbed your ass in the elevator.
And because I was young and hot and blond?
If a dude misbehaved? Well, that was my fault.
That’s what I got for being young and hot and blond.
