The Swedish Migration Board: curled 80-talister makes us ineffective – Aftonbladet

The Swedish Migration Board has been raging for efficiency.

In an internal report blamed the problems on “curled 80-talister” described as slow and too emphatic.

– Many staff feel support and insulted. They need to get an apology, says Sofia Johansson, press spokesperson of the union ST.

Migration Board inefficiency problem described in an internal audit report as Sydsvenskan and SVT News took part.

in the 90′s took an officer three decisions per week – now it is down to one per week. According to the report, where 34 managers and other employees interviewed, because inefficiencies including a large number of newly employed people born in the 80′s.

“The agency now has the so-called curling parents of baby boomers in the rolls. We have, in other words, employees accustomed to being driven here and there and get everything they point to, “the report said according to SVT.



” A new coffee latte culture “

the report characterized the Swedish Migration Board of “a new coffee latte culture”. “Some officers offer nowadays often for coffee and adds initial time creating wellbeing instead of immediately going into the investigation room and in the investigative situation”.

The authors write, according to Sydsvenskan, the 80s generation want fast change and career will go fast, “otherwise they get tired.” They do not feel seen and often put more emphasis on human rights instead of putting the law into focus. Officer refuses to make the deportation order because “empathy goes too far” and “decisions anxiety becomes overwhelming them.”

– I get so frustrated, provoked and insulted. We newly hired 80 Baby Boomers are not dull. On the contrary. It is we who ensured that the Migration Board inoperative. There is general chaos within the authority and considerable pressure to deliver. It is expected to work 25-40 hours of overtime a month on my department and make very many decisions. It’s not about quality, and to make good decisions, but it is pure pin-hunting, says an asylum officer who Aftonbladet talked to.



“report is unserious”

Union ST requires that the Migration Board’s management asks their staff apologize.

– this is going over the limit. So this is not talking about his staff, says Sofia Johansson.

– It’s the staff that have carried up all the authority at a time when it was almost chaos when it comes to how many new arrivals who come. Many staff feel stated and do not think the management sees their capacity.

Sofia Johansson calls the report “improper” and “surprising”.

– They say that they do not have to put as much legal certainty as they do today. It is completely unreasonable. You have to make qualitatively correct, otherwise we can not keep on with the exercise of official authority. This report is not serious, she said.



“Nothing we as an authority stands for”

Michael Ribbenvik, chief operating officer at the Migration Board, is highly critical of the report.

– it’s insulting to describe a group of employees in this way. There is nothing we as government stands for, he said.

Are you going to ask the staff to apologize?

– You have to see the difference between the internal audit and regulatory management. It is unreasonable to apologize for someone else’s opinion. Especially when you do not share it.

Do you think there is something in it that is in the report?

– No. In terms of efficiency in the processes we work with it. We grip on the asylum application. But the report has completely missed the progress made. In January decided more than 4 000 cases, now in July settled nearly 10 000. So people are working. They work hard. And it is not true that a generation has a certain property, says Mikael Ribbenvik.

– The audit uses anecdotes to lead a conclusion: to sink the quality splash and go back to pin hunting. We do not share the opinion that the audit will.
