so what happens if you get these RSUs and you can’t sell them but you still get a huge tax bill because you got them??? do they sell some off themselves to pay your tax bill?

Usually RSUs can be provided in either shares or cash equivalent. What is often done is a portion of the vesting for the month will be paid in cash to offset the taxes withheld. This is something that a company should walk any candidates through so they understand what they’re getting into.
