question
particles
is "と” always needed for when saying "with?"
Japanese がんばる is a **transitive** verb that means "to work hard on/with ～".
That is to say, you have to say しごと **を** がんばってね if you don't want to omit
particles, but しごとがんばってね is fine in casual conversations, too. しごと **と**
がんばってね is ungrammatical.

In general, と meaning _with_ cannot be easily omitted like が/は/を. Being able
to omit と freely would obviously introduce a lot of confusion and ambiguity.
For example, 彼【かれ】映画【えいが】見た【みた】 will always mean "He watched a movie" rather
than "I watched a movie with him."
