But you are also concentrating your risk.

If you receive stock from your employer and it does not do well, that will probably harm your salary/job as well and you'll lose twice.

If instead you receive the cash value of the stock and invest elsewhere and your employer's stock tanks, taking your salary/job with it, your investiment elsewhere won't be affected.

Yep, RSUs are a gamble. I would say the vast majority of time its to the employee's benefit to get straight cash instead.

I wouldn't want to be getting RSU's at IBM for instance :)
