Corporate executives do not want to pay free market wages for workers. They prefer a system that will supply indentured servants with no recourse in the political or economic arenas. They don’t want to pay for training workers either.

That is the reality behind the so-called “skills gap”.

In some cases "corporate executives" are under conflicting pressures to maintain high quality and encourage longevity among their workers, while at the same time keeping labor costs down. I'd say these are mutually exclusive in most industries. You're probably more likely to find this in publicly traded companies where there is a huge knowledge gap between management and ownership about how to manage the business effectively.

They don’t want to pay for training workers either.

I don't know what kind of experience you have, but from what I've seen this is not the case at all. If anything, there is a stronger emphasis on training now than ever before. This is driven by the fact that most industries encounter dramatic change over very short periods of time, and it doesn't serve anyone's interests to have workers whose knowledge isn't up to date.
