Spite work 

Unnecessary busy work imposed by employers to make sure they get their money’s worth out of employees or unnecessary working conditions imposed to micromanage employees.
I can perform my job better from (insert any location that makes sense), but am being told to go do it (insert other location that does not make sense) to keep tabs on me. This is some serious spite work.

You perform all of your duties, but are being asked to do some extra spite work that makes no sense and is usually mandated by someone else who is not an expert in your field.

Bad professional development/meetings that could have been emails just for the sake of having professional development/meetings are spite work.

When you are done with your work and more spite work is piled on because it would be a shame if you had nothing to do and were still being paid

When you are at the gym working out on a horizontal bench, exhale so hard that some spit comes flying out. Work Out Spit can sometimes land on you.
Man my last two reps, work out spit everywhere.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
