Total probably would have been even higher, but covid took me out for a good chunk of the month. And again, I was about halfway through probation at this point, so definitely not senior.
Not saying that no one’s getting screwed or that we don’t need better work rules, but maybe you need to rethink your trading strategy/criteria.
I think a lot of it is categories that aren’t used to massively high LPV lines or bad reserve coverage not knowing the trickier strategies.
I was always able to get pretty good schedules but it required a
lot of creative thinking, criteria trading, breaking a 4 day into 2 2 days so I could drop the day I needed, etc.
as someone who doesn’t mind getting creative it’s kind of useful that most people are clueless about trip trading mechanics, but at the same time it’s also pretty BS that it’s so user unfriendly.
