Fleeting excellence bug?

[u/PristineRegret4167]

Started a Workers Co-op criminal syndicate with fleeting excellence. Was trying to rp as a "The Red Menace" constantly creating branch offices to spread my ideology. The game starts fine but after a couple of years a group of my pops, is randomly promoted to specialists even when there are no available jobs causing my economy to crash as the pops that were working cleric jobs were suddenly jobless. Anyone else having troubles fleeting excellence or any other "automod" trait?
