Translation: the "temporary" relationship clause in a White Glove Girl's contract refers to the amount of time she has remaining on this mortal plane. Until then, we're happy to shuffle temps around from employer to employer, keeping our White Glove Girls under lock and key until the next call comes in. Sometimes we'll let them out of the dunge...asset pool for a few minutes to take care of their "happy homemaker" duties. Anyone thinking of stealing one of our assets should be aware that we've spent years working on glove-tracing technology—we'll know when you've stolen our assets!

Strangely enough, the temp/short term employment contract culture is pretty much exactly the same today.
It wasn't I scrolled down to see the line above the Manpower logo that I realized what this ad was even for.
Was the ad meant to be a joke, or was it in reaction to offices luring their temps into full and direct employment?
