My department recently got a new director & I get that they are probably under a lot of pressure from upper leadership to turn things around but they have a habit of making weird faces when others are speaking & kind of speaking down/being condescending towards people during meetings. I get they’re the “leader” but none of us are children. Just wanted to rant.

Do you think they’re aware of this fact? They may be but some people wear their emotions not just on their sleeve. They wear it on their face. Check to see if you think they’re aware of this and if you come to the conclusion that they’re not it’s time for some gentle feedback

Maybe not but I don’t want to give negative feedback because of possible backlash

Agree

I can imagine this is frustrating. I personally know that my face does its own thing and I have to work really hard to control it. I wonder if they are aware they are doing it

They probably aren’t but they do things like roll their eyes, scrunch their face, make hand movements to dismiss people.

OP, if you’re afraid to give feedback, be ready to just live with this situation forever. Even though you think they may be aware of it, they don’t know how it affects you.
If you’re afraid to give feedback, you need to go be an accountant or somewhere in a back office that you don’t interact with people. I certainly hope you don’t have desires to become a leader. Best of luck!
