My answer uses strcpy. I am looking for why my answer solves my problem. I believe it has something to do with pointers and allocation. 'My answer' is posted as a literal stack overflow answer.

I'm trying to answer that question but you left the critical part (the design of the employee structure) out. Your answer also implies that the fix came from re-arranging the scope of the memory allocations ("When I place the declaration and allocation of secondList in main() and put the rest in a function it works").

Okay, the format of the structure you have makes the problem more clear.
