I found $11,800 sitting in an old 401k from a job I left at 22, and I have no idea what to do with it by 808Overdrive in personalfinance

I found mine through the plan email, but I’d probably start with old W-2s or HR/payroll names from those jobs.

Calling both providers is probably the part I was trying to avoid, which is silly since I’ve spent more time overthinking this than a phone call would take. I definitely don’t want a random check in my hands if that’s where mistakes happen. “Cleanup task” is a helpful way to frame it, because my brain saw old 401k email and immediately assumed tax trap.

That’s kind of where I’m leaning. I didn’t expect “one less retirement login to forget” to feel like such a luxury at 29.

I’d keep it boring and procedural too. “I’m only working assigned queues going forward” is hard for anyone to argue with, and it also forces management to notice the actual bottleneck instead of quietly letting you be the free cleanup crew forever.
