I really don't get it. Every single place I've been at that had a secretary was running like cream cheese. But no-one has them anymore. The only things I can figure is that the healthcare, retirement, and sexual harassment issues really do add up to remove the utility of a secretary.

What does the phrase "running like cream cheese" mean? It sounds slow, but from context here it sounds...fast? Efficient?

Running smoothly. Smooth as the cream cheese on your bagel.

I guess that's not a phrase everyone is familiar with. It is well illustrated via Coach Finstock in Teen Wolf here:

Secretaries were harassing people?

Or more likely, the subject of harassment.
