To determine the correlation between the values under study the following re-
search is preformed.

1.1 Telegram Chat History

Telegram chat history was exported and processed to determine the total number
of messages per each day of week. Normalization was performed through the
calculation of percentage of messages for each day of week.

1.2 Serg P. Office Hours

Careful research of Serg P. office hours was performed which included interviews
with SPB employees and examination of Widely Known Facts c
. Normalization
was performed through the usage of value of 1 for in-office days, and value of 0
for out-office days.

1.3 Correlation Calculation Method

Pearson correlation coefficient was used.
cov(X, Y )
ρX,Y =
σX σY

2 Results
The values collected for chat activity and office hours are given in Table 1.
Pearson correlation coefficient for these two values is equal to −0, 784, which
