Assuming that you're home right now, make sure that your router is set to forward port 21 to the local address of your Mac, that FTP is enabled in your Sharing preferences and that your Mac's firewall is open on that port.
Confirm your WAN address before you go to work tomorrow.
Then try to ftp from work.
If it doesn't work, try connecting to another site via ftp... for example, you should be able to connect to ftp://ftp.apple.com.
If you can't connect to another site then you may reasonably assume that your IT guys have blocked FTP.
BTW: A great utility for checking your WAN and LAN addresses:
