Requirement to join new employer after COE

[GreenCard-H1-Extension]

I have an approved COE petition with a new employer, but I might be unable to join that employer before the 60 day period expires. I would like to understand if I can continue to work at my present employer (I have an I-797 with present employer), or if the issuance of a new I-797 invalidates my current one. 

 

Thanks!
