History WebAnimation / LosPollosHermanosEmployeeTraining

* VillainProtagonist: Gus.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Many of the videos present Pollos Hermanos as a respectable establishment and Gus as a diligent boss.

* DevilInPlainSight: There are so many Mythology Gags throughout the videos to the criminal world Gus is a part of that anybody paying any more than scant attention would notice something's up, but apparently the tapes don't arouse any suspicion about Los Pollos Hermanos' higher ups and their conduct.

* BaitAndSwitch: "Conflict Resolution" presents a scenario where communication is needed to prevent resentment -- a hypothetical employee, "Diego", feels his co-worker, "Maxine", wasn't doing a good enough job wiping down the counter, and Maxine is annoyed that her contribution was underappreciated. The first choice of response given is passive-aggressive, and belittles her; the second is sarcastic and demeans her. Gus's solution? Instead of offering to help, [[TranquilFury using the passive-aggressive response, phrased as a statement, in an icy cold voice while never losing eye contact]].

* MoveAlongNothingToSeeHere: Gus does not want his employees to know any trade secrets of ''Los Pollos Hermanos'' and angrily pressures them to not go around snooping or investigating off-limits areas in their own workplaces.

* ShoutOut: There are many references to both Series/BreakingBad and Series/BetterCallSaul. For instance, in 'Cleanliness' Walter White's book of Walt Whitman poetry is seen in the trash.

* AdaptationDeviation: In ''Series/BreakingBad'', Gus does not endorse meth production inside a ''Los Pollos Hermanos'' location. He has a massive underground facility to do so, yet one of the webtoons show an LPH restaurant containing a meth lab -- or perhaps it's not a meth lab, it's just Gus's own private room where he conducts experiments on meth to determine purity and composition.

** Blue meth can be seen boiling in a beaker in a restricted room even employees aren't allowed in.

** Gus when he orders his employees not to do any drugs on their shift.

* ItsAllAboutMe: The training videos only prove further just what an egomaniac Gus is.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Gus orders his employees not to take pictures in their work areas because it could expose proprietary company information like that [[spoiler:meth lab]] in the back of the restaurant.

* AssholeVictim: Ken in "Customer Service" starts making a scene going on a rampage over a wrong order and even refuses a correct order. Gus then makes him come to his office, and at the end when Ken walks out he's disturbed and shaken to the core of whatever Gus did to him in there.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: The webtoon's primary source of irony - Gus looks like a charming, well-meaning restaurant entrepreneur but even his animated videos portray him as a bold, daring menace.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Gus especially since he orders his employees to be model, well-behaving people with good hearts.
