What is burgerpants doing? I would imagine someone who already dislikes mettaton would’ve only gotten more miserable.
Oh yeah, he's miserable alright. I wonder what's gonna be instore for him! I'm gonna talk about some spoilers in the actual game so beware!!!
TD;DR MTT hates him, and BG will always be miserable.
I thought a lot about what MTT's and BG's relationship was like. A long time ago I used to think that MTT was an incredibly abusive boss that treated all his staff like scum, I believed every word BG told us.
Until after looking more into the MTT resort's dialogues and realized that didn't seem to be the case. At least, most of it didn't. A lot of his employees actually think very nicely of him, the only monster who bad-mouths him is BG.
Why?
Either 1, all his employees (except BG) are too biased to realize that MTT is a jerk.
2, BG is exaggerating and finds the negativity in everything.
Or 3, MTT treats all his employees well (except BG).
I find number 1 very unlikely. After you kill MTT and go back to his resort, the staff speak to you worriedly about his lack of presence:
"Have you seen Mettaton? He hasn't come by lately. I have a lot of respect for that man. I had trouble getting a job because I am so pointy and angular. But, being a rectangle, he understood my struggles."
"How unusual. Mettaton usually shows up now to tell everyone they're doing a great job. Even if I was having a bad day, we'll always give each other a thumbs-up, and... ... oh, what am I doing? I'm not being very professional."
"Blub blub... Mettaton isn't here to press his face into the steaks. He told me that if he ever disappeared, we could use my face instead... But, I'm nervous. What if my face doesn't taste very good...?"
Sounds EXTREMELY positive for an abusive boss. So, why does BG think so terribly of him? Or does MTT think terribly of BG? Well, let us change perspective first and look at BG as an employee.
Extremely rude to the customer after a slight inconvenience (ex. not buying anything, not having enough money, full storage, buys full stock, when we kill everybody)
Bad-mouths other monsters he has interacted with (nicecream guy, bratty and catty)
A total incel. Down bad. Sorry I thought making this note was funny
Not the greatest employee. Does BG slack off because MTT hates him, or does MTT hate him because he slacks off?
Not sure what the actual origin was of MTT hating BG so much...
Here's some things we know that MTT does to BG (According to BG):
Calls him into work until halfway into his shift
Plays a CD album about how bad he is at his job
Turns down his ideas with the excuse of, "that's not how they do it on the surface."
Gives him weird outfits ("promotional" costumes, or for "holidays", "specials", or "because he felt like it")
Makes (only) him wear said outfits in his office just to laugh at him before telling him to go back to work
We also know that after the pacifist route, BG tells us that MTT told everyone that they were free, but told BG, "don't think that means you're getting off work early."
If we are to believe that what BG told us is true, then it is safe to assume that MTT is not fond of BG. At all. Why? No idea. It's kind of like in Family Guy where everybody hates Meg for no apparent reason. Maybe there doesn't have to be a reason.
BG is also known to be incredibly pessimist and only sometimes expresses hope, but also lies a lot. He is very ignorant when it comes to other people's perspectives, and told us that we are being brainwashed by Catty and Bratty. He is incredibly biased to attractive people, or generally anyone who has a better life than him (which is almost everybody). Which could imply that everything he told us may not be 100% truth, but I still find it unfair to not believe in anything he told us though.
I made this faq way too long so I'm just going to end this analysis here
I assume that he would just stay as a burger-flipper even after MTT's reign, but you may also find him working on other jobs throughout the comic. For comedic purposes, of course. Heh.
