tree hugger

A slightly derogatory term describing an employee of a company who stays in the same position for many, many years. This term is usually used in industries such as software engineering where the dynamics of the profession are always changing and it is not unusual for other people in the same field to change jobs every few years. This term was often used in the Silicon Valley during the dot-com bubble (late 1990s).

The opposite of a job hopper is a tree hugger.
