Steps to Accessing Your Starbucks Fidelity Account After Quitting
When you bid adieu to Starbucks, fear not! Your vested Bean Stock stays with you like a loyal coffee companion. These treasured shares can be managed right from your Fidelity account, keeping your ties to the bean-loving company alive even after leaving the barista life behind. But what about those unvested Bean Stock dreams? Unfortunately, those fledgling stocks get the boot upon separation; it’s like they never got that chance to brew.
Now, let’s talk about cashing out those Starbucks stocks on Fidelity. If you’re ready to part ways with your stock shares, here’s a quick guide on how to make that financial latte-to-cash transformation happen: – Start by logging into your Fidelity account like a barista clocking in for their shift. – Navigate through your stock holdings like a seasoned coffee expert choosing beans for the perfect blend. – Handpick the stocks you’re looking to cash out, just as you would select those premium coffee beans for brewing. – Choose the cash-out option as if placing an order at a Starbucks drive-thru window. – Double-check and confirm your transaction details as meticulously as checking your latte order before sipping. – When it’s time to sell, consider selling through a brokerage firm or transferring stocks to another brokerage for maximum flavor and flexibility.
Now, how do you taste the sweet rewards of your Starbucks bean stock? By staying true to Starbucks for at least a year post-grant date without any service breaks, you earn the first half of your Bean Stock blend. Stay enthusiastic for two years from the grant date and savor the second half. Then voila! The beans are brewed – well, not quite; you receive shares of Starbucks stock that are yours to hold onto or sell.
To access and manage these freshly roasted shares post-departure, simply login to your Fidelity account like brewing that first morning cup. Keep in mind that if your Bean Stock hasn’t vested yet, it’s like waiting for that perfect coffee blossom – it’s not yours just yet. When ready to sell those shares, navigate through Accounts & Trade tabs like flipping through a menu board and select Trade option for your individual account – serving up those shares just right.
So sip on delightfully brewed coffees knowing that even after leaving Starbucks behind physically, your invested Bean Stock loyalty stays strong with tantalizing options waiting in your aromatic Fidelity cup! Sit back, relax, and enjoy watching those stocks percolate into financial success post-Starbucks departure!
What happens to unvested RSUs when you quit?
All unvested RSUs will vest in full as of the date of your separation. The vested RSUs will go to your estate, which will determine when to sell these shares. There is no time limit.

What is the difference between vested and unvested stock?
Vested stock is fully earned and owned outright, allowing you to sell or dispose of them at will. Unvested stock is promised but not fully earned under the vesting schedule, requiring forfeiture if you leave.
What is vested restricted stock?
Restricted stock and RSUs are company shares subject to a vesting schedule. Once the grant vests, you own the shares outright. This can be based on time employed or meeting performance goals.
