You already know what ‘tone deaf’ means, but words have a tendency to take on new meanings when applied to the office. ‘Tone deaf’ is basically a way of saying ‘can’t read a room.’ You know the scenario: your boss is totally gung ho about some new project that’s going to save the company, even though it’s a huge money drain and everyone else sees it. Or maybe your boss thinks ‘everyone is obsessively checking their watches during my presentation’ somehow translates into ‘they all think I am a genius and were in awe of my great new ideas.’
Is your boss tone deaf? Or maybe just delusional? Let us know.
