List three coherence or continuity strategies used in the following paragraph to create smooth logical build:  The massive layoffs of the early 1990s have, in many cases, backfired, leaving companies in worse shape than ever. One recent study of large companies showed that while the profits of nearly all these companies fell between 1989 and 1991, the profits of companies that had layoffs fell much more. Another study showed that nearly two-thirds of managers saw no productivity gains for layoff programs during the late 1980s. When a company announces a massive layoff, employees turn paranoid. These threatened employees may begin immediately looking for other opportunities, and they may spend significant portions of their workdays on the phone, following leads and checking out rumors. Consequently, the morale and self-esteem of the employees fall and their productivity goes down.
