When I was getting RSU's, yes, I sold them off immediately under Rule 10b5-1 (allows selling of stock on a predetermined schedule so as to avoid no-trade windows and insider trading issues). My rationale was that I'm exposed to stock performance already through staggered vest periods (as long as I have employment anyways), and it would be best to diversify the liquid cash, same as I do with salary.
