Consultant is the most fitting description so far. It sounds like you were assigned to do on-site consulting work for company B and are now in the process of getting reassigned to a different client of company A. That's what we call it where I work. You're a reassigned consultant.

What you describe is might be referred to as an operations support organization ( Company A), consultancy, or contracting company.
The differences between these three would be:
* Operations Support Org. - Company A contracts with Company B to provide a staff for a specific function to facilitate the operations of Company B. Example HP Enterprise Services, Accenture, etc. The staff of company A are dedicated to company B's operations for specific purposes for length of time and/or objective.
* Consultancy - (the contracting of experts) Company A provides an elite individual or team, to provide supplemental services related to a specific objective which is the specialty of the experts. These tend to be determined more on a basis of the completion of the objective rather than a span of time. Operations Support Org's are more focused on providing a service for a specified duration of time.
* Contracting Company - Here the focus of company A is to provide individuals for company B, an those individuals function as temporary employees for Company B. In the other two scenarios the management of the individuals involved in the service are employees of Company A. While in this case the 'contracted individual' reports to the management of Company B.
Your description however most resembles the function of a Contracting organization where at the discretion of Company B and the employee being contracted.

In the States it is called being "cut"... But as another poster replied, it can also be called "confused"...

A more proper term used in UK is Consultants!

In American English:
The more common and polite word is "reassign" - Company A reassigns you from company B to somewhere else, or less commonly "unassigns" or "removes" or "withdraws" or "detaches" you from company B.
With respect to company B, you've been "reassigned" (most common) or "detached" (less common).
|
|
|
|
|
You were a "contractor" at company B. Your contract at company B finished, expired, was ended, terminated. The reason why you aren't working at company B anymore has some bearing as to how it is described. The contract "ended" is probably the most general with the least negative association.

Basically, Company A = Temp agency.

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.

This dilbert explains a lot, but it perfectly explains the CMS (content mgmnt software, blog software, whatever you want to call it).
Panels 2 and 3 are exactly how I feel about the sitch.

All CMS /Blog software sucks! 
** wordpress -- php-based - worst of all worsts!
** drupal -- php-based
** joomla -- php-based
** dot net blogengine -- I had high hopes. Can't add a simple page that is hosted but is not managed by the blog engine. Why?
** dotnet Nuke -- overly complicated
etc...
And, you know I'm right!

Have you tried that? Is it based on ASP.NET MVC by chance? Microsoft tech at least?
I would like to know more. I'll check it out. Thanks. Let me know if you've used it.

Actually I did start working on that and wrote at least 4 articles here about it.
Here's one ASP.NET MVC : Build Your Custom Blog Engine (CMS) - Part 1 of 2(Own ASP.NET MVC)[^]
But, of course, there is way more work to do there and I'm human (lazy by nature).
Also, I just figured out how to hack the Site.Master file to add the link I want to DotNet BlogEngine so I won't jettison myself into outer-space, quite yet. (To the chagrin of many, I'm sure.)

It's based on Razor Web Pages, which AFAIK is sort-of a stripped-down version of MVC.
ASP.NET Web Pages | Microsoft Docs[^]
I haven't used it, because I'd already written a simple custom CMS before it came out, which is good enough for what our customer wanted.

A minimum and a maximom walk into a bar and the barman asks them if this kind of behaviour is normal. The maximom pulls her friend the minimum to the exit, whispering "lets go somewhere where they speak English (United States)".
