If you plan to leave the lab, please consider the disposition of any electronic data as part of your exit checklist. Take a look at our FAQ on this subject at go.lbl.gov/leaving.
We have suggestions for Gmail, Google Drive, and Calendar events, along with data you might have stored on your workstation or on a central file server. We are developing some tools to help - the most recent one is a Google Apps Script which will allow you to forward Gmail messages in bulk (label the messages and then the utility allows you to forward everything with that label).
All this is much easier if you give your consent and initiate action before you leave.
Another thing to consider - when you leave the lab, you no longer have access to your Gmail account. (if you are just changing status from staff to affiliate or vica versa, then a supervisor can request a postponement of the account deletion).
