If you are talking about your views on tax policy, healthcare, etc, all I can say is that I've never worked anywhere that somebody would be fired or ostracized or anything for their position.
If you are talking about race or gender than yeah, the "conservative" position is terrible and you would rightly face consequences for your awful beliefs.
If you're talking about telling your coworkers that you voted for Trump, well, I don't think that's something that ought to be taboo but he did explicitly embrace the terrible beliefs I mentioned so I think that explicitly renouncing them wouldn't be a bad idea.

- RestlessMind 9y agoIf conservatives talk about illegal immigration, they would get ostracized and harassed at tech companies even if their position is not "terrible". Its mainly because liberals/democrats/leftists are very vocal about that issue and drown out sensible discussions which do not toe their ideology.
- libertyEQ 9y agoAs a liberal Republican, I completely disagree with your conflation of those terms. I would suggest picking up a dictionary or reading about Adam Smith, the original liberal.
- s17n 9y agoYeah, there's definitely a spectrum there. "We should change the immigration process to favor skilled workers" - you're fine. "We should deport anybody who immigrated illegally" - you're in the danger zone. "We need a ban on immigration from Muslim countries" - you are horrible and you deserve whatever consequences you suffer. "Build the wall" - you're an idiot.
