Saw an employee I used to manage

So I got laid off in 2021 due to a reorganization. It was a really toxic workplace. I worked really hard and helped people with their projects. I shielded my staff from the politics. I was disappointed when people were suddenly not really there for me. They sure wanted my help when I was there. So I see someone who I used to manage and did a nice drive by hello. Kept walking. I figured if they didn’t reach out after I got laid off I wasn’t going to make an effort. In fact I deleted people off of LinkedIn, Facebook etc. I have no motivation to stay in touch.
