Excerpt from above link re his writing factory:

Patterson: "...The job pays well. Everybody likes it. Nobody quits."

Reporter: "It sounds like you’re more boss than colleague?"

Patterson: "I think it’s a combination. I remember at J. Walter Thompson it was a fairly collegial atmosphere, but there was an understanding that we didn’t join you, you joined us. I think it’s the same thing. They’re joining me. I don’t like to use the word 'boss,' even though I don’t think it’s inaccurate....And, as I said, nobody leaves. "
