Ingratitude or ingratitude ( one word ) means a lack of thankfulness; a refusal to acknowledge a gift or benefit--
He claims that no one has ever helped him--such ingratitude!
If you show ingratitude, he may refuse to help next time.
In gratitude or in gratitude ( two words ) means with thanks or an acknowledgement of appreciation for a gift or benefit--
He wrote a note, in gratitude for the job offer.
He sent a gift in gratitude for their hospitality.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"Ingratitude now will only cost us later; let's offer them a bonus, in gratitude for an excellent job."
