Seconded is a valid word for it. It's a bit old fashioned and mainly British but it works.

Accent is on 'Con', not 'Sec' (like 'second').

"Transfer of a military officer or corporate executive to another post for temporary duty." Works perfectly.

"Am I "seconded" at company B? Yes. (seconded to might be better).
Does company A do "secondment"? Yes.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
