Meta trading restrictions on options

Does #meta have any restrictions on trading derivatives on meta or tech stock?

I think almost every company restricts its employees from trading derivatives of its own stocks. For others it is a fair game

Meta fUDw35 Feb 12, 2022

yes for meta stock. Btw, are there any companies allowing employees trading derivatives for their stocks?

Microsoft does not have these restrictions

All companies offering employees RSU incentives restrict trading on options for their stock. Most employees don’t know it , till they are called by HR for their exit discussion due to not complying with insider trading rules. Shareholders want employees to not hedge the stock price, rather help to move it upward or take a hit in pay !
