What is the slang word for work in french?

There are several slang Words for "work" (travail).

The mildest and commonest is "boulot", another one is "taf".

"turbin" has become obsolete for decades but should still be known.

"taf" actually comes from the acronym "TAF", "travail à faire", school homework). It evolved to mean work itself:

Je cherche du taf: I am looking for work, a job

J'ai pas d'taf: I don't have a job

It seems to be popular because of its resemblance with verlan (reverse, à l'envers -> vers l'en -> verlan) slang forms, frequently used in the populous suburbs, such as around Paris, and because it has a sharp pronunciation. It is used by French rappers such as MC Solaar.
