I agree with your statement, but I recognize that the term “unskilled” in this context means something different than you and I would like it to

no shit they won’t be as efficient. but they can do it without requiring weeks or months or years of training
edit: to clarify, I also don’t think that there’s a job where somebody can effectively perform it on day one (unless they have already learned the skills in a previous job in a similar role). but I do think that there are jobs where somebody can become a net contributor within a few days. like vacuuming.

nah, I just think it’s dumb to say “but everything is a skill” like it’s some gotcha
sweeping is a skill you can learn very quickly. it’s not complicated. you don’t need special training to do it. the reason you can’t be effective on day one is that you need to learn the processes of the job, not because you need to learn the skill. you can be effective at sweeping, but not effective in your role because somebody is expending time and effort to teach you the processes. not because you have to learn how to sweep.
