Employment overlap for 2 days in 2 companies

I resigned from my current company and my LWD is on 10th Jan. The new company I'm joining gave me a joining date of 8th Jan with the clause that I'll only be eligible for joining bonus if I join on or before 8th Jan. My question is can I join the new company before my LWD? My current company is not cooperating to reduce my notice period by 2 days. I guess the joining company did this on purpose so that they can skip on the joining bonus. What could be done here?

This two days will be categorised as dual employment, not worth the issues which might come later and difficult to explain, its a red flag to begin with in your new place if they can’t even cooperate and adjust for two days. What in the world will these two days make for them.

I am already getting a vibe of toxicity from the place you are going to join

Strange.. normally companies do have cut off dates for bonus. Usually these cut off dates are the month end. Rarely even the 15th of the month. Never heard a company having cut off date as 8/Jan.

Maybe the HR is taking you for a ride.

Yes you can! I have overlapping employment history, but nobody cares. During background verification, the 3rd party only verify your job title, level and date of your tenure.

What about pf overlapping?

Same, no one cares. The 3rd parties which conduct Background check only verify the details you provided, they will not care if got fired / resigned or your tenure overlap

Get another offer by shopping this one. The company should learn the hard way that be ethical, or get rewarded in similar ways.

Dual employment is a big red flag. Don't optimise for local maxima. Talk to your skip manager for early relieving or skip the bonus part.
