They have many departments and I  always cowork / work together with/ cooperate with other department colleagues but in my daily work we must write English emails to confirm information and communicate with the global team so recently I am learning how to write English email using templates and I try to learn some abbreviations and I have a lot of stress on my shoulders. My boss is very strict with me she thinks email skills and presentation skills are basic things but in my previous company I usually didn’t use this to present my work./ I usually didn’t present my work this way. So this month I focused on how to fit their atmosphere, and how to deal with things their way./ the Levis way
Although they even don’t talk to me. everyone is so busy everyday/ my colleagues are always on call with agencies and other people. Most foreign company are busy. The way they work is similar.
