1. Zeus God of War
The ancient Greek king of Olympus may be omnipresent, all knowing, and infinitely powerful, yet he does have a habit of getting a bit carried away as far as punishment is concerned. Prometheus was chained to a rock to have his liver pecked out by birds every morning for all eternity (with his organs growing back at night) for giving humanity fire. Sisyphus was forced to push a giant bolder up a hill, at the top of which it would simply roll back down, for eternity, because he commuted the crime of grassing up Zeus after he took a fellow Gods daughter as a sex slave. There are many other examples, like poor Lxion who was tied to a burning wheel (for all eternity), along with all the hits delegated to Kratos because he couldnt be bothered to do them himself, so the point stands that its probably not worth the risk working for him when a tiny mistake can result in endless torture or death. Zeus lack of regard for others is also shown by his insistence on the murder of Ares, along with the complete abandonment of many of his bastard sons. He even attempts to murder his son/fellow God Kratos without so much as a formal warning, showing he really isnt the flexible type if youve done something to tick him off. In addition to that terror hanging over your head like the sword of Damocles, youd also have to contend with the onerous responsibilities that come with the position, which could include anything from having to battle Hydras every day to spending a million years looking after the worlds sheep (Demeter was put in-charge of grain and agriculture, so working for a God doesnt always go hand-in-hand with excitement). There are perks obviously, like the potential for immortality, superpowers, and limitless knowledge available for those who do as theyre told und never qvestion zer Fuhrer. On the other hand, the constant threat of being horribly mutilated and killed by a tantruming ex-God of War kinda undermines whatever pension plan you mightve been offered.
