spreadshit 

An Excel spreadsheet with no redeeming value, it's purpose was to provide data but all it creates is confusion and frustration.
Bill: Do you have the forecasts for next week's production?
Ted: No, the data Rufus sent is horrible. All of it was on one ridiculous spreadshit. I asked him if he knew what a column was. He said he just finished reading one in the newspaper.
Bill: I can't believe he still works here.
Ted: The worst part is I have 400 rows worth of data in one merged cell. I don't even know how he managed that.

Management by Spreadsheet 

An micromanagement technique whereby the micromanager generates an infinite stream of spreadsheets, mostly containing a hodgepodge of data, each purported to document and store a specific part of an employee's work output.

The employee is required to fill out blanks in the spreadsheet instead of remaining engaged in useful work.

The intent of the micromanager is to to attain control over all knowledge, gaining a sense of omnipotence. The inevitable end result is that spreadsheet maintenance becomes the only work performed.
Today I'm filling out one of his spreadsheets documenting my hourly work output. I'm really getting tired of Management by Spreadsheet.
