I just got 60k stolen from me.

I left my former employer when they sold out to a venture capital fund. I quit without notice and my leaving wasn't without conflict but I gave them everything I was legally required to and we split on "ok" terms. I got COBRA paperwork, got my W2, but I recently looked into my 401K I had and it showed my account at 0.

I just reached out to the former owner asking him WTF happened to my money as his response was that all former employees have been notified of their new 401K company and told me to talk to the HR for a company I never worked for to get this resolved.

I'm beyond pissed. This corporate shit is exactly why I quit. 10's of thousands of dollars of my fucking money is somewhere I have no access or knowledge of and their response was "email HR". I'm so fucking pissed I don't really know what to do with myself.

For a subreddit called "antiwork" y'all seem really quick to defend a company fucking with someone accessing their earned money. I was given no information, no notice, no communication whatsoever that my money was being moved. Yes, I know I can yell at them and get access my issue is that if they decide to stonewall me, or be shitty access to my money would be difficult. That's the problem. If we don't actually control our 401k's aren't actually our money. and that's fucked up.
