My Sim has this fear pretty much every day. Even when the 'regain passion' action succeeds and the fear goes away, it returns the very next day while she still has the buff from conquering her fear. It was somewhat realistic when she was a barista while going through college but at level 8 of the investor career it's just a pain, especially as upskilling to get a promotion takes ages at this level. The frequency really needs dialled down for all careers but should also be much, much lower when Sims are near the top (level 7+) of a career that is matched to their aspirations.
I think EA should adjust how the fear system works. Like maybe this fear should not resurface if the Sim has at least 7+ level in their career or if they at least get promoted once a week. It's funny how my chef Sim who likes to cook and has a level 10 cooking skill gets this fear every other day. It also decreases her work performance so she always comes home stressed due to her having to work hard to advance very slowly.
I also think that if your sims literal ambition is to become a top chef, that should prevent this fear as well.
