this is an interesting story.. please keep in mind that alternate possibilities can be considered about motivation, communication and results. The specific combination of "you go junior level" and "spend large amounts of time on architectural aspects" are ringing a bell. As in, a cereberal young engineer thinks deep thoughts, impactful or fatuous, and goal-oriented managers steer in a pushy way possibly including remarks of a personal nature. An observation is that much to the friction-coefficient of it all, there is no correct answer about refining architectural aspects versus "get that task done by Tuesday" . more could be said but, what really went on is now water under a bridge, so to speak...
