What Are The Pink Slips In Fnaf About?
A popular fan "theory" for awhile now is that the Pink Slips references to a bad smell is because we are playing as Michael Afton in all the games. That he smells bad because he got scooped.
Now this doesn't work. Primarily because in FNAF 2 Michael would not have been scooped yet, as William hasn't gone missing after being spring locked. Which is while Michael says he is going to find his father because his father went missing.
So if the Pink Slips aren't referring to a purple Mike in FNAF 2, what are they referring to? Well aside from likely being a joke about the absurd reasons a corporation would fire someone for, it's likely referring to the tampering of the animatronics in the custom night. Why do I say this? Well.... on page 69 of Five Nights At Freddy's: The Ultimate Guide we get this information. "The player character is repeatedly fired for tampering with animatronics--which aside from alluding to the Custom Night, and knowledge of animatronics, could point to turning of their facial recognition or collecting remnant."......... This is something that is brough up and suggested unprompted about the pink slips before the fan "theory" is brought up. As it doesn't start off referring to it as something fans say or among many theories.
Michael could be working for his father in FNAF 2 and maybe FNAF 1. But that latter one is determined by whether or not he is a corpse as Michael is hiding in shadows after Sister Location. It really is dependent on whether or not FNAF 1 takes place before or after Sister Location. But also, Michael's time working at Freddy's might not even be on display in the games and some random night guards are the guards and tampered with the animatronics on their own accord.
