Sims not taking care of needs during school/Work

I've noticed this issue in my game as well. I removed all my mods and cleared all caches before starting a new save. My sim is in the scientist career (though I have noticed it with the romance consultant career as well), and I've noticed that when I send her to work and leave "normal" as the work option, she will fill her bladder and hunger needs, but if I select any other option (work hard, take it easy, or socialize with coworkers) her bladder and hunger needs both continue to deplete. If I then change her work selection back to "normal," she will only partially fill her bladder and hunger needs. I have not tested all careers, but I'd be happy to send my save if it helps.
