I had to lay off myself, so I put LinkedIn workers on performance-improvement plans

Ex-LinkedIn manager said he felt "very frustrated and sad" after being told to find underperformers to put on performance-improvement plans (PIPs) Then he was laid off himself, leaving him feeling'very frustrated' and'sad'

Laid-off tech workers turn to LinkedIn, therapy and one another to bounce back. Tech workers adjust to a new reality of less-than-airtight job security in an industry unaccustomed to extended periods of deep, widespread cuts. Tech industry is adjusting to new reality.
