Chronological context denotes correlated time aspects that influence communication. The outcome could be positive or negative. In this situation, since Andy is an experienced employee who had worked for a long time, he feels reliable, and he merits a pay raise. His prerequisite for a pay raise is based on the time he had worked for the company. As a result, this is a chronological context, a time-based facet that influences communication between Anna and Andy.
