** Episode 7 reveals Fear Co. is still active and using Scream Power, which initially makes them a major competitor to Monsters Inc., still struggling to process laugh energy as a newer and better power source and keep up production levels for the city. The demand for energy is so high Mike has to recruit the Jokesters-in-Training to ensure Monsters Inc can keep up with their rival's power production in the middle of a heatwave. This implies that Tylor had other reasons to choose to work at Monsters Inc. specifically, rather than any other company still applicable with his current skillset. Supporting this, The season Finale has Tylor discuss the possibility of Monsters Inc switching back to Scream Power when he's getting nervous about [[spoiler: being promoted to an official jokester]], but never even raises the possibility of himself simply transferring to another company that still uses Scream.

** Lampshaded with Fungus, who is allowed to keep his job, despite having been part of the same conspiracy as Waternoose (arrested) and Randall (unofficially banished). The ''Monsters, Inc.'' epilogue already showed Fungus after a time skip, but this series confirms that he wasn't rehired after serving some light sentence or something, he just stuck around.
