Really? Even as a rank and file pleb I wasn’t allowed to trade except for about 2-3 weeks after earnings calls. I assumed that was the norm everywhere.

That is the norm. True insiders are subject to additional restrictions, and often set up a 10b5 plan to set conditions under which stock may be traded.

In almost every case, no employees (insider or otherwise) are permitted to sell derivatives (calls, puts), while they are employed.
