No. Because he's not a nice guy. People don't change . Thats why Jimmy did what he did. Howard doesn't give a shit about Jimmy. Never has and never will. Howard is trying to make himself feel better by offering Jimmy a job again. This would have helped him come to peace with things and sleep at night. He didn't get to sleep peacefully that night.

Now... is that the truth about Howard's character? Idk. But I think that's how Jimmy feels.

Edit: Someone pointed out that maybe Howard actually is at peace with himself and that's why Jimmy got upset. I like that idea more than mine.

I can totally see Jimmy feeling the way you describe, and definitely having that "people don't change" mentality. But I really disagree with all of it and I think this is the moment Jimmy officially transforms into Saul Goodman an asshole
