10 Video Game Bosses Who It Would Suck To Work For

It's unusual to be disparaging the player character in games for being bad bosses. However your avatar in the Saints Row franchise is about as unpredictable as people can be.

Initially a nobody who swiftly and ruthlessly rockets to leadership of the Third Street Saints and from there, President of the United States, The Boss is someone willing to do whatever it takes to get their will done. Being a member of the Saints gang definitely has its perks; swish headquarters, near-celebrity status via your affiliation with the boss, access to mind-bending, dubstep-dancing weaponry and basically the freedom to run, drive and fly wherever you want in Stillport and Steelwater. However, it also means you'll have to contend with the increasingly ridiculous circumstances the Saints find themselves in.

This includes, but is not limited to, fighting off zombie hordes, or the occasional alien invasion, not to mention the prospect of constant turf wars between increasingly cartoonish criminal gangs and a hypermilitarised peacekeeping force. There's also a good chance you might be mown down by the Boss and their homies during the constant chaos whether by vehicle, massive sex toy or straight up superpowers. How's that for a hostile work environment?
