Do you ever think to yourself, “Jon, I love your posts, but what I really want is more of this, but with fewer characters.” Well do I have the thing for you. While I’ve been off Twitter for the past year, you can find me microblogging on both Threads (@thejonhyman) and Bluesky (@thejonhyman.bsky.social). Give me a follow and I’ll be sure to follow back.
Don’t forget to pre-register for this coming Tuesday’s webinar on how the election will shape employment law in 2025, with host Eric Meyer, Dan Schwartz, Amy Epstein Gluck, Dessi Day, and me. It’s free, but you do need to pre-register here.
