Blunt. “All her feedback is critical, and her emails are very blunt.”

not showing care or attention to someone or their ideas

Dismissive. “She seems very self-centered and dismissive of other people's ideas.”

Approachable. “A decent manager should be communicative and approachable, especially to someone new.”

behave toward someone in a less negative way

Ease up on. “Maybe once I've proved myself capable, she'll ease up on me and treat me better.”
