Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? n/aWhat expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? EPs: Get Together; GPs: Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Dine Out; SPs: Perfect Patio, Cool Kitchen, Romantic Garden; FSs: Holiday Celebration.Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have an employed sim reach level 6 of the programming skill and go to computer>programming>hack and see which options are there.What happens when the bug occurs? The option to hack work performance doesn't show up.What do you expect to see? We should be able to have our lazy, mischievous tech gurus hack their work performances and do other things that our notifications tell us that we can do.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? YesDid this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No When I got The Sims 4, at November 2015, I have never seen an option to hack work performance, even when they have high enough programming skill. Correction: I don't have any mods. I have tiny bit of CC, but all the mods and CC are disabled.

Focused Sims can now go back to hacking work process when they reach level 6. Fixed in Patch 1.58.63

Did you use the same Sim in another game or try a new one ? Was it missing there from the start ?

[EDIT: Sorry, I re-read the "Compiled List of Bugs" thread and saw that this bug has been recognised by the community. I don't know if me saying that the problem still exists is useful or not. Maybe it'll help bring more developer attention to it? If not, and this is redundant, feel free to delete the thread.]
My Sim is level 6 in programming, and the message telling me that I would now be able to hack my work performance did appear when I got there. However, when I actually look around on the action menu of my Sim's computer, the option to do so does not appear.
I have tried to do it on a couple different computers, but it didn't make a difference. I have also tried it on two different Sims, separated by a game repair/uninstall/reinstall, and still the option does not appear.
I've had this problem for months, well into last year. I was looking around the internet for solutions and saw that a few other people were getting this bug too, but it seems it still hasn't been fixed. Do the game developers even recognise the existence of the bug at all? I'm not sure whether I used to be able to do it back when I originally bought the game; if the problem developed after a patch later on, or if it's always been there; I'm sorry but I don't remember.
Can anyone help me? Does anybody else still get this problem?

@DispleasedEskimo Merged your report

And no, most bugs are not recognized by the devs. There's very few where they will say but most of the time, we have to just wait and see if they fix the stuff
