The not staying at work glitch

Anybody know if they are going to fix the glitch any time soon? The one where if you travel with one sim somewhere else while someone is at work and come home before they are done, they come home too? I think that’s partly why I’ve stopped playing my legacy challenge cause it’s hard to get promoted and that’s all I have to do left until I can move on. Or is there a fix to this and I missed it?
  • I've had that bug on and off since I first got the game like, the year after it launched. I may be wrong here, but I just don't for-see them fixing this one. Its been a part of the game for too long without them caring about it. My personal work around is that I just simply don't leave the lot when I'm shooting for a promotion. I know its a pain, but its the only thing that works for me.
  • I've always had something like that. I play rotationally and if I forget a sim's work schedule and switch to their household while they're at work, they will be on the lot when I join and they'll have the missing work notice. That happens every time, and they take a hit to their job performance because of it too. I've started keeping a notebook with those things written down to avoid that problem. The promotions deal isn't as bad for me, but I switch households often. I have a small rotation, 3 main households, so I visit everybody at least once a week. In the past it seemed like households I visited infrequently didn't lift a finger to work on their job performance and sim years later they were still stuck where they were when the save started.

    My game is fully updated and all this still happens, so I don't see it ever being fixed. At this point I've just figured out work arounds that have become habits.
