Need advice on a major Data Privacy / HR issue

Hi everyone, need your thoughts on this.

I accepted a job offer at a new company but had to push back my start date by a week because I caught adult chickenpox (bulutong). I shared this in confidence with a few trusted colleagues who are already working there.

​Long story short, it got leaked to the whole team. Someone forwarded me screenshots of their company Group Chat, and it turns out my future teammates are actively making fun of me and laughing about it. Worse, the immediate manager was in the GC and didn't even stop it, sinabi lang niya na magpa-vaccine sila.

​Medical history is strictly Sensitive Personal Information under the Data Privacy Act, and honestly, seeing those screenshots is causing me so much stress and anxiety before my first day.

*​ Should I report this directly to the new company's HR and Data Protection Officer (DPO) before I start?

  • ​How do I even face a team and a manager on Day 1 knowing they were just mocking my health condition?

​Appreciate any advice orL egal/HR insights. Thank you!

Hi guys! Need a bit of advice regarding a start date overlap and would love to hear your thoughts.

​​I just received the job offer today and will be submitting my resignation today as well! Ideally, my rendering period would end around June 5 but the new company needs me to start by May 18 because the role is urgent.

​To make it work, I'm thinking of filing my remaining leaves for the overlapping dates and just rendering 2 weeks. Medyo worried lang ako sa potential issue ng dual employment since they are in the same industry.

​Sayang din kasi yung opportunity and I really don't want to lose it, but I also want to make sure I don't burn bridges or violate any policies.

​How do you guys usually handle this situation? Any tips or advice on how to approach this properly would be super appreciated. Salamat!
