    Jokes aside, Lyle is probably one of the most morally pure people in the Breaking Bad universe. We don't see a lot of him, but in the moments we do, we see a young, cordial and hardworking member of society just trying to get a start in the world. He doesn't even protest to basically getting a tighter schedule upon Gus informing that he won't be in for the whole week, and instead chooses to express his condolences and worries instead.

He cleaned, tended to the customers, took orders, made food, etc. Being on the frontline with your employees really does make them like you better. So I think Lyle was probably fine with doing him that favor. He’ll probably get a nice bonus too. The show did a great job of showing Gus’s work ethic toward his employees.

      That might’ve been moreso Mike tbh, i think Gus appreciated Lyle but really respected Mike as a pro in the game.
