We are supposed to feel sorry for Milton, but for more reasons that people usually mention. Milton was definitely fucked over and not even treated as a human by his bosses - but at the same time Milton was a character so acquiescent to authority and entrenched in the system that he couldn't be happy even when he was on holiday at the end of the film - we see him complaining about his service, trying to pull the whole 'the-customer-is-always-right-I-will-report-this-to-your-manager' thing while he is essentially ignored by the staff. He was passing on the dehumanising treatment he received in the white collar workplace to people in the service industry, not even realising it and instead thinking it was the way the world should work. Milton is a character who will never be happy.

In contrast, Peter, huge entitled asshole though he is, worked out a way to be happy that wasn't based on his job status. You could even draw a parallel between how he treated Jennifer Aniston's character, a waitress in the service industry, and how Milton treated people in the service industry at the end of the film. Peter definitely treated her badly at points in the film, but he didn't treat her like she was less than him just because she was a waitress.
