Cultural Tip
In French workplaces, "bossé" is considered slang and is best reserved for informal settings among peers. In a professional email or a meeting, opt for "travaillé" or "collaboré". Also note that "équipe" is feminine, but the possessive "mon" is used for euphony (to avoid the clash of "ma équipe").
