This also seems vey suspicious. You both were hired for the same jobs as food supervisors at different locations. Are you working for a franchise restaurant like Subway? This really sounds like a job for payment scheme. The work conditions have changed dramatically since 2019. Whistler has a lot of unemployed workers and far less tourists. The fact that this employer had multiple applications may also be an issue. You can certainly ask for reconsideration. Was there any reason given for the refusal?
