Are the pronouns used correctly in this sentence-Just between you and I am not impressed by our new manager?

No, the pronouns are not used correctly. The correct sentence would be:

Just between you and *me*, I am not impressed by our new manager.

Here's why:

* "I" is a subject pronoun, used when the pronoun is performing the action.

* "Me" is an object pronoun, used when the pronoun is receiving the action.

In this sentence, "you and me" are the objects of the preposition "between." Therefore, "me" is the correct pronoun to use.
