No they cannot force you to take it off. If they force you to take it off or fire you if you don't then you can take them to court for religious discrimination/unfair dismissal. Perhaps I can give you better and more accurate advice if you mention the kind of work you actually do.
The place where you work must be permissible to work in because one's invocation is not accepted if one's earnings are from impressible means. This includes jobs where it is not permissible to work as well as the the actual work activity itself being honest.
Your current workplace isn't the ideal place to work in. The music as well as the gay, bisexual and lesbian (possibly!) colleagues along with an environment where one indulges in a lot of evil is not a place where your iman will grow. Being new to Islam it is vital that you keep yourself distant from your old bad habits, customs and especially from evil people. Work is the place where you will spend most of your time and being around bad company will have a negative affect on your iman.
My advice: look for another job.
If it is too difficult for you to look for other work than be patient, don't be too friendly with the men and stay around righteous company as much as you can. Perhaps you can spend time in mosques and be around righteous sisters who will remind you of Allah during break and lunch times.
