From a vanilla forum about office workers of yesteryear, Julie commented:

Further to the comment about spanking at work. My Aunt worked in the City during the 1950s, 60s and 70s. She told me the spanking of office girls was far from unheard of. When she began working at 17 she almost got the sack for making so many mistakes. She said she burst into tears when was given her final warning. Her boss gave her a handkerchief and told her not to worry but that he had daughters and he would spank her if he had to see her in his office again.

A week later she was spanked by him, “nothing sexual” she was sure, just how it was. He spanked her several times and after the first time he used a ruler across her knickers.

She said as she got older she didn’t really question it and several of her bosses spanked (both men and women). At 21 she got her first bare bottom spanking from a man and was spanked on the bare almost every week after that. She thinks by the end of the 1960s things were “getting a bit cheeky” as she told it. Word got around that she was “a bit of a sport” and she got a few spankings well into her 30s.

She said some of them were real stingers and she had to go to the washroom for a good cry and after sometimes she could not sit down. “But better than the sack,” she was pretty sanguine about it. “Mostly,” she said, “It was just a bit of fun.”

By the mid-1970s she was one of the bosses and I asked her if she ever spanked anyone. She said “maybe once or twice.” She never married but lived with her female friend for many years. Nothing was ever said but I am pretty sure it was just girls she spanked.
