常見錯誤

❌The IT team onboarded the new accounting software last week.
✅The IT team installed the new accounting software last week.
💡Onboard applies to people joining a company, not to installing technology.
❌I onboarded at the company last Monday.
✅I was onboarded at the company last Monday.
💡When the employee is the subject, the passive form is much more natural.
