uncoveted
Nobody wants it
Uncoveted describes something that nobody particularly wants or desires.
If a position or possession is uncoveted, it fails to attract interest or envy from others.
The uncoveted night shift went to the newest employee.
The word often implies that something might reasonably be expected to appeal but doesn't, or that its drawbacks outweigh any benefits.
