She laughed uncomfortably because she didn't know how else to react.

Have you never uncomfortably laughed before? It's a pretty typical, and often automatic, reaction to situations for humans. It is also pretty easy to spot. It never ever means I'm totally cool with this; carry on.

Are you really unable to tell when someone is uncomfortably laughing (her words) at some silly remark because everybody around is laughing too versus actually enjoying the joke? Are you really unable to tell when someone doesn't like your company?

It's possible. I have trouble with it.

Which is, incidentally, why I try to avoid dirty jokes until I know my present company likes dirty jokes. This manager may not have figured that out.
