We all know work can be frustrating sometimes, right? Well, there's this guy named W. Edwards Deming who had a really interesting idea.

He said that when things go wrong at work, most of the time (about 94 out of 100 times), it's not just one person's fault. It's because there's something wrong with the way things are set up. Only a small part of the time (around 6 out of 100 times), it's because someone did something odd.

So, what Deming means is that if we want to make work better, we should focus on fixing the way things work overall, not just blaming one person. But here's the catch – these changes don't happen quickly.

Let's take a look at this funny magazine on social media called 'Humorous Resources.' It shares jokes about all the annoying things we all face at work. You know, like those never-ending email chains or things mysteriously vanishing from the office.

These jokes tell us something important – there are bigger issues behind them. They're like hints telling us that there might be problems in how work is organized.

Deming's idea helps us understand that instead of only looking at what one person did wrong, we should look at the whole situation. This way, we can make a work environment where everyone can do their best.
