Maybe they didn't do it because they "loved" the company. Maybe they did it because they saw the potential and believed that with a little help, the thing could grow. Fred Smith is not the only visionary amongst FedEx people. Actually, it doesn't matter what their motive was, the fact that it was done is something that we should all be happy about. No one ever said the company would love you or appreciate you, just that you'd get a good days pay for a good days work. No more and no less. It's like the guy who invented the wheel. We all have to thank him, because without him, there'd be no beer truck.
