Took a trip back to my hometown recently and recognized several of them doing retail and manual labor jobs. I won't lie, it was satisfying.

The feeling can only be described as: schadenfreude
It would have been schadenfreude if they were friends or neutral to them. It's rather enjoyment of the karma they got.
