This is frowned upon or illegal, covered by insider trading policy. You should not profit from information that is not public, nor profit from your company stock losing value.

Yeah, you are not allowed to speculate ( calls or puts in open market) against your company stock.

Yes, most companies don’t allow speculative trading tools like Call or Put options for their employees. I know NVDA does not

What's with this question being asked multiple times a week lately? Read your insider trading policy. Don't ask on Blind.

If you think your company will do poorly enough for you to buy put options then you should just switch to a different company.

You can buy puts on separate broker accounts and sell them in case stock price is going down. The problem with puts is you have to buy them every month or quarter and it may not be cheap enough as youd like it to be.
