If you remember back to CFI you might remember the term chunking. So in that regards I agree with don't put the cart before the horse. Step 1, then step 2, etc, etc.
Simply taking a break from that and asking questions about your future did not equate to putting the cart before the horse.
I know you and every other instructor probably mean well. Dial it back a notch please.
Dial it back? That is some funny stuff. I promise you after seeing so many people come through who do not know their flows or limitations, he has every right to say what he said. But as a new hire you probably know better than an LCA who has been here a while.
