It also makes it somewhat obvious if you quit or got fired from a job (that uses github).

You don't get green boxes for repositories you no longer have access to.

Actually, I found after enabling the new feature I regained a lot of squares from a private organization I am no longer a member of. These squares didn't even show up when I was logged in before.
This is so weird. -.-. I'm having the opposite.
Only if you remove your work email from your account. I still have green boxes for things I don't have access to. But I made sure to leave my work email in my account settings, if you remove it, then you lose all the green boxes.
Do you mean that the committer email is used? (so, if you use your personal email on your work .gitconfig, you're fine already)
Yes, or if you you use the hidden <user_email>@users.noreply.github.com.
I did some contract work for several months where they just gave me access to the organization and removed it when I left. I have nothing for that time.
