Yes, this is like saying water is wet, the sky is blue and yellow rabbits in FNAF are probably psychotic serial killers. Especially if they're in some way, shape or form involved with William Afton. But I feel like we should properly delve into just how bad it gets. In part 1, we discussed how they abuse their own characters and technology to an irrational degree. Link here:
In this part I want to talk about how Fazbear Entertainment treats their employees. Because the employees get shafted just as badly, if not worse than the animatronics.
While it's hard to say if the company was always as bad as it is now, it's safe to say that the abuse started pretty early on. In FNAF 3 we get told by Phone Guy that:
"In the case that the springlocks come loose while you are wearing the suit, please try to maneuver away from populated areas before bleeding out, as not to ruin the customer experience."
This is already a red flag, as even at this point, Fazbear Entertainment is more concerned about the "customer experience" than protecting their employees. Yes the suits are later retired because:
"After learning of an unfortunate incident at the sister location involving multiple and simultaneous springlock failures, the company has deemed the suits temporarily unfit for employees."
Please note he said "temporarily", as in they were planning on coming back to these suits after "being looked at by our technicians". Yet in the same breath he also says:
"I repeat, the classic suits are not to be touched, activated, or worn. That being said, we are free of liability, do as you wish."
Here he's essentially saying "Don’t wear the suits, or do, we don’t care. If you die we're not responsible." That being said: if you put one one of these death traps after being told not to do it it would technically be on you. But after we just heard about bleeding out in a back room to avoid disturbing the customers instead of.... you know, calling 911 for proper medical attention, this feel cold and rather hollow. Things only get worse by the time of FNAF 2, in 1987. Where we again hear from Phone Guy:
"Uh, now that being said, no new system's without its.... kinks. Uh.... you're only the second guard to work at that location. Uh, the first guy finished his week, but complained about....conditions.... Uh mainly he expressed concern that certain characters seemed to move around at night, and even attempted to get into his office.... So while our engineers don't really have an explanation for this, the working theory is that.... the robots were never given a proper night mode. So when it gets quiet, they think they're in the wrong room, so then they go try to find where the people are, and in this case, that's your office. So our temporary solution is this. There's a music box over by the prize counter, and it's rigged to be wound up remotely. So just every once in a while, switch over to the prize counter video feed and wind it up for a few seconds. It doesn't seem to affect all of the animatronics, but it does affect....one of them...."
Now, we as the player know these animatronics are possessed by the souls of the children William Afton killed, but to be fair; Fazbear Entertainment probably doesn't, at least at this point. However, the fact that these shiny, new animatronics that are meant to be kid friendly aren't programmed with a proper night mode?! Really?!?! Why would you neglect that since they are literally built to walk around and interact with the customers?! He further elaborates:
"Uh, and as for the rest of them we have an even easier solution. You see there may be a minor.... glitch in the system, something about robots seeing you as an endoskeleton without his costume on, and wanting to stuff you into a suit. So hey, we've given you an empty Freddy Fazbear head. Problem solved! You can put it on anytime, and leave it on for as long as you want. Eventually anything that wandered in, will wander back out....You may have noticed there are no doors for you to close, heh. Uh, but hey, you have a light! And even though your flashlight can run out of power, the building cannot."
So their solution is: A music box that requires to be wound instead of something that would last the entire night, a flashlight, and a mask for you to hide in. No doors to close, not even a normal door. To defend yourself against animatronics that want to stuff you into a robot furry suit that will kill you. Why not an entire suit that is hollowed out like the mask? Why not have the flashlight connected to the building's power? Or have extra batteries for the flashlight?! Why not have the office in a room WITH A BLOODY FUCKING DOOR AND NO AIR VENTS BIG ENOUGH FOR 6 FOOT TALL ROBOTS TO CRAWL THROUGH?!?!
But don't worry; it gets even worse!
“Uh hello hello! Uh, what on earth are you doing there? Uh didn’t you get the memo? Uh, the place is closed down, a-at least for a while. Someone used one of the suits. We had a spare in the back, a yellow one. Someone used it. Now none of them are acting right. Listen, j-just finish your shift, i-it’s safer than trying to leave in the middle of the night. Uh, we have one more event scheduled for tomorrow, a-a birthday. You’ll be on day shift. Wear your uniform, stay close to the animatronics and make sure they don’t hurt anyone, okay?"
So, after the truth comes out, after knowing that the Toy Animatronics aren't acting correctly, they still try to squeeze just a little more money out of them with one last birthday party, with you on the day shift. Being forced to stick close to the robots that are currently trying to kill you! Instead of doing the smart and safe thing, like.... canceling the party! Yeah it might upset the kids but I think THE BITE OF 87 probably upset them even more! Yeah, they put the guy these robots have been gunning for 6 nights straight, right in front of them, in front of customers, probably deprived of sleep and not at his best.
Now we get to FNAF 1 and I don't think I need to go over it. But I will anyway. Night 1 we're told, again by Phone Guy that:
"Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or a person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon as property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced."
This is already sus as Hell! But it's night 4 when shit hits the fan!
“Hello, hello! Hey! Hey wow, day four. I knew you could do it.
Uh, hey listen. Uh, I may not be around to send you a message tomorrow. [banging] Uh, it's-it's been a bad night here... [banging] ..for me. Um, [banging] I-I'm kinda glad that I recorded my messages for you, hem Uh, when I did [banging].
Uh hey, do me a favor. Uh [banging] maybe sometime, uh, you could check inside those suits... ..uh in the back room? [banging] Uh, I'm gonna to try to hold out until someone...checks. [banging] Maybe it won’t be so bad. [Kitchen clatter, banging] Yeah I-I-I-I always wondered what was in all those empty heads... [Toreador March begin] ..back there.
You know. [moaning] Oh no. [banging, Golden Freddy scream, static]”
This man has been doing this job, probably for awhile and has been with the company for +30 years, yet his loyalty gets him nothing but a cold, empty suit and a that corner office in the sky. This company cares nothing for their employees. This is further shown in Sister Location. While we don't have Phone Guy to give us exposition this time we do have these rather haunting images:


Two Fazbear Entertainment technicians, dangling in the Funtime auditorium. This is definitely one of the most morbid and dark scenes outside a game over screen in the franchise. Who killed them? How long were they hanging there? Why didn't the Funtime Animatronics use these more readily available corpses than Michael? We don't know, what we do know, is that Fazbear Entertainment put them into this situation where they ended up being killed. In the "good" ending, Michael, after escaping Ennard into the secret security office is promptly fired for not dying. {Unfortunately for him Ennard escapes, follows him back home and probably scoops out his insides by hand.}
Pizzeria Simulator with the exception of the insanity ending is actually the best we've seen an employee of Fazbear Entertainment being treated. Henry even had a plan for Mike to escape the fire, but knew Mike wouldn't want to leave his family. Mike choose to burn with his father and sister. Fazbear Entertainment supposedly ceases to be a corporate entity, ending the company forever........
Or it would have if someone hadn't bought the rights to the company and decided to try to both deny everything while simultaneously cash in on everything that happened before. Scanning the remains of the animatronics using a VR program based off The Mimic, that program likely scanning and assimilating Afton's Remnant and Agony to create Glitchtrap, possibly even having some or all of his memories, or being corrupted by it into thinking "FNAF GOOD, NEED MORE FNAF! I MAKE MORE FNAF! I BE NEW AFTON!!!!1111" I think it's the former but I'm not going to rule out the latter.
Whatever you believe, Glitchtrap then goes on to infect the VR program, taking over Vanessa, killing off a guy named Jeremy, and forcing Gregory to kill his parents. Meanwhile Fazbear Entertainment quickly sweeps it under the rug. They do nothing about Glitchtrap, whether or not he's Afton, the Mimic or some hybrid of both doesn't matter here. They did nothing to fix this virus that is not only infecting their systems but their employees.
In AR Special Delivery, we see the employee emails with how other employees were passed up for Vanessa. Likely due to Glitchtrap, showing its not what you know, but who you know. As an aside: if the animatronics we see in that game ARE the originals we see from the games, they are sending out murderous, haunted animatronics out to random homes in America and having people collect remnant for them. {Including the still malfunctioning Toy Animatronics, Circus Baby, Ballora and even Springtrap.... You know, the guy who murders people for funzies and profit.} If not then they are sending out murderous simulations of the haunted animatronics to randomly kill people because.... probably Glitchtrap. {Who is likely a simulation of Afton, and is using Afton's form to murder people for funzies and profit.}
Security Breach and Help Wanted 2 have a number of employees sounding off about how poorly they're being treated as well as other examples. From someone being wrongly fired over Chicken Alfredo, to having to deal with Monty's anger issues, to cleaning up after Glamrock Chica, to having to fix Monty because he's too stupid to stay off the catwalks above Monty Golf, to having Roxy try to run carts off the raceway, to having to perform amateur surgery on the fly, to going insane from trying to free a princess in a game, to dealing with Sun's sass, living in mortal fear of Moon, rebelling worker bots while making sodas, getting stuck wearing Vanni masks and most importantly having your entire brain put into mask bot. I know that I'm skimming over things but it's 4 AM, I'm tired and this is already too long.
Fazbear Entertainment is grossly negligent towards their employees at best and actively hostile at worst. But if you think that the way they treat their animatronics and employees was bad, wait until you see how they treat their customers, their safety and how they keep sweeping anything negligent under the rug. Tune in next time for part 3 of "Fazbear Entertainment is a bad company."
But anyway, that's all I got for today. Go away now!
