Politics in the IT department and job security

by why me worry? . Updated 20 years, 6 months ago

I once turned down a job offer for a prominent TV media company simply because my political views do not agree with their liberal stand on many issues. I feared that if the subject of politics ever came up in the office, I would be the black sheep conservative among a sea of utlra-liberal nutjobs with their daily Bush bashing jokes and anti-war drivel. I know it’s illegal for companies to discriminate or fire employees for their political views and other factors, but working fur such a company would create a hostile environment for me. Has anyone ever been in this situation where they were the “black sheep” because they didn’t fit the corporate culture or status quo?
