To commute to one's place of employment.
Contexto cultural
The concept of 'le travail' is central to French identity, and the commute is often a time for reading or listening to radio. In Quebec, 'aller au travail' is standard, but you might also hear 'aller à la job' in very informal settings. Similar to France, 'aller au travail' is the standard phrase used in both Brussels and Wallonia.
The 'au' rule
Always remember that 'travail' is masculine. If you are unsure, 'au' is almost always the correct contraction for 'à le'.
Don't be too casual
Avoid 'boulot' in your first meeting with a new boss. Stick to 'travail'.
