Michael Afton took up the name Mike Schmidt to work at the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, presumably to avoid any questions about his identity. He was paid $120 dollars for his first week for doing his job, as known by a check given after finishing Night 5. He worked from the 7th to the 14th of November 1993. On the first night of the job, Mike listened to the recordings made by his predecessor, giving him advice on the night shift, while fending off the animatronics. While on shift, Mike suffered hallucinations, caused by all the paranormal activity going on around him. However, on Night 4, he heard Phone Guy die, and on Night 5, only heard a disturbing message. He also spent time writing in his security logbook, which he dubbed the Survival Logbook.
After Night 6, he was called "Employee of the month", due to his dedication, and praised for overtime. On Night 7, however, Mike tampered with the AI of the animatronics, and was subsequently fired. As well as this, other reasons included unprofessionalism, and odor.
