Work performance going up way too slowly

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.91.186.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? too many to list
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim go to work in a good mood with all tasks completed and have them Work Hard.
What happens when the bug occurs? Work performance barely goes up at all, maybe half a color.
What do you expect to see? Work performance used to go up quickly if all tasks are fulfilled. Now it takes forever for a sim to get promoted.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. the big update around HSY

‌

Lately my sims' work performance barely goes up at all even if they Work Hard, are in a good mood, and have completed the daily task. This means it takes forever for a sim to get promoted, which is especially obnoxious when they only go to work every 3 days.

    Does the sim in question have one of those brand new fears related to dead-end career?
    It's said to impair performance and from my experience it really does that.
    Otherwise they did make graduation traits affect work performance as well, so they could have nerfed it to move slower without those.

    @jacknifelee They have had that fear on and off but I feel like the performance is slow even when they don't have it. I definitely had a sim "regain passion" and it worked (she became confident) before going to work and the performance only went up half a color segment.

    I don't have HSY so hopefully any "graduation traits" wouldn't affect my game. :/

    So, before the sim gets the dead-end job fear, the work performance is fine, but once they get the fear, it's permanently slowed - even after they conquer the fear/when they don't have it active.
