The profound public transport crisis in the province of Matanzas has forced many companies and state entities to alter their working hours, due to the inability of workers to arrive punctually at their workplaces.
The official newspaper Girón published an article titled “Working to the Best of Our Abilities,” which explains that the crisis has led to an informal adjustment in working hours: many employees start their shifts at nine in the morning and finish early to be able to return home.
According to a comment published by the newspaper, the shortage of transportation “justifies our late arrivals or early departures,” reflecting the decline of work discipline in a context marked by fuel shortages and the paralysis of state buses.
The lack of transportation has directly impacted productivity and the quality of services. Tasks that were supposed to be delivered on Monday are postponed to Tuesday or even the following week.
The causes are piling up: blackouts, lack of water, illnesses, spare parts that aren't arriving, and an economy that continues to plummet.
Your boss understands you", notes the text from the provincial media, referring to the fact that the executives also suffer from the same shortcomings: power outages, lack of water, inadequate transportation, and low salaries.
Understanding turns into collective resignation, while work efficiency suffers across all sectors.
According to the article, public services are deteriorating, work plans are not being fulfilled, and the country is entering a cycle where “everyone does what they can, not what they should.”
The result is an unproductive system that punishes both the worker and the user.
Analysts believe that this crisis highlights the lack of government management and the absence of structural solutions.
The fuel shortage, the poor condition of the vehicle fleet, and the lack of planning exacerbate the transportation crisis throughout the country, while the Cuban regime fails to provide real alternatives to alleviate the situation for millions of workers.
The commentary from Periódico Girón concludes with a call to “innovate and seek ways to adapt,” although it acknowledges that work discipline and motivation are undermined by the extreme living conditions faced by Cubans.
