Villagers Wont Take Jobs

2 things:

1) villager will take a job, then when I destroy it they keep the job and wont take a new workstation at all.

2) villagers wont take a job at all. Have beds near, they are not nitwits. Place a workbench down for them and no sparkles, no nothing. 

Haven't tried on a singular world, but I'm on a realm that has been going on since late November. Don't know if that has something to do with it or not, but I thought that I would note it.
