Never underestimate the evil of HR. It’s a way to offload headcount without a layoff.

They probably agreed to not layoff Mailchimp employees in the sale, so they make them quit. Purging the sick, tbe pregnant, etc from the company is a way to cut costs, and doing so through some elaborate bureaucratic fuckup avoids government intervention.
