About Harj Singh
Reporting built from the worker’s side of the table.
Harj Singh is the founder and host of The Grind Hotline, a two-time 2026 award-winning, worker-first global media and workplace intelligence platform reaching people in more than 100 countries.
He is an ex-banker, author and former Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 global sales leader with more than 20 years of experience across banking, corporate sales, leadership, business development and high-pressure workplaces.
His reporting examines layoffs, severance, artificial intelligence, restructuring, outsourcing, performance pressure and workplace politics in plain English. The goal is not to repeat a company announcement. It is to explain what the decision could mean for the people doing the work.
Why The Grind Hotline exists
He lost his job twice in five years. Those experiences shaped the mission.
Harj’s first job loss came after seven years with a financial company, on his daughter’s birthday. Five years later, he was laid off from a director-level sales role at an e-commerce company.
Those exits shaped The Grind Hotline’s worker-first approach. Strong performance, tenure and loyalty did not provide advance warning. The platform was built to help workers recognize public company pressure, ask better questions and prepare before an employer controls the story.
Harj leads the editorial framing and final publication review across The Grind Hotline’s written analysis, video reporting, audio coverage and workplace intelligence.
