Final answer:

The correct answer is angry employees vandalizing a building, as this is an act of vandalism, not embezzlement. Embezzlement involves taking something of value from an employer for personal gain, whereas vandalism is simply property damage.

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which of the following is NOT an example of employee embezzlement:

Land conservation employees stealing equipment

Cashiers stealing money from the cash register

Angry employees vandalizing the building with spray paint

Salespeople overcharging for products and pocketing the excess cash

Embezzlement refers to the act of an employee unlawfully taking something of value from their employer for personal gain, often money or property. Among the options listed, vandalism is not an example of embezzlement. This is because vandalism represents damaging property and doesn't involve the misappropriation of assets for personal gain, whereas the other three options clearly involve stealing or misusing company assets.

Option c), angry employees vandalizing the building with spray paint, is the answer as it does not describe embezzlement but rather an act of vandalism.
