Anyone know of the best way to look up the names of other professionals or leaders in the firm if you don’t have their last names? I know about broker check but was so used to teams that I never bothered to keep track of last names. Would like to say thank you to some of the folks whom were a shining light while I was there but now I regret not writing them down before I left. Kicking myself now, crazy I can remember the bad ones full names but can’t for the life of me remember the full names of some good ones. :(

Re: my previous comment, "he or she" instead of "she".
This is such a sketch post. It reads like a phishing attempt to try to get last names of employees to use for fraud like impersonations and fake emails.
Nope, I don't read it like that at all. OP is looking for a way to look up old friends and colleagues, not asking us to list these friends or colleagues, she hasn't even given us a clue of who they might be or which department they might be from. Schwab social media team, are you at it again?

Very glad to hear that you are healing, layoffs can be so traumatic, and it's not unusual that even a year later you can still feel the effects. Some of us were also more recently let go unethically after being placed on false PIPs that are hard for us to prove and let go with no severance. We're all putting one step in front of the other and taking it one step at a time. Wish you continued mental health improvement and a happy holidays as well!
OP here, thanks for the suggestions, to answer below question was part of last year’s Nov layoffs. I just am at the point now where I’m getting a better mental health space and would like to reconnect with a few folks for the holidays if I can. I have Facebook but don’t have linked in, perhaps I’ll start an account and go from there.
Appreciate the support guys and creating a safe space to ask, don’t have many folks contact info, just the names and the last teams I knew they were on, so maybe linked in would be easier.
hope you all have wonderful holidays!
Yea, on LinkedIn, there's even a who you may know section in the Connections section that will show you a list of relevant user profiles based on where you went to school and the companies you worked for. It works, it actually does a good job of showing up the user profiles you would actually be interested in. By the way, when were you let go / resigned?
If you are looking for old team members perhaps start with those that you do know and network from there like on linked in or Facebook?
