Reflecting on a former team's struggles after my layoff and their job search challenges

A couple of months ago, I was laid off from my manager position at a tech company. I had a good rapport with my team, and they seemed to appreciate my leadership. Recently, I heard from my team lead that things have been quite chaotic since my departure. She mentioned that her new supervisor has been micromanaging her, making her job unbearable. To cope, she decided to set her LinkedIn status to "Open to Work" in hopes of finding a better opportunity. However, during a one-on-one meeting, her toxic manager confronted her about this status. The lead tried to downplay it by saying she had forgotten about it, but the manager insisted she change it right there in the meeting. I'm just shocked at how unprofessional that response was. Has anyone else faced a similar situation with their employer regarding their job search status?
