underappreciation
Not enough thanks
Underappreciation is the state of not being valued as much as deserved.
It can describe a condition—chronic underappreciation of teachers—or a specific failure to recognize worth: His underappreciation of her contributions led to her resignation.
The word often carries a note of complaint or grievance.
