How should one handle a reference request for a bad former employee?
She wasn't terminated. When her temp employment term expired, I simply told HR not to extend it because she had failed to complete 6 items by deadline.
Years ago, I told her that company policy prohibited references and not to list me as company policy was only to provide dates of employment and job title.
It's been six years, and now that I have a new employer, she started listing me again without even reaching out to me.

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks.

Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?
