"After I entered ESPP sale information, TurboTax changed the name of the
stock to the name of the company I worked for, which is not the company
which issued the stock."
Actually, I think you did that without meaning to. When you use the ESPP step by step interview the program throws up the name of your current employer by default - it's the only employer it knows about at that point - and invites you to select that employer or to enter a different name. So I expect you just "clicked through" and ended up with the current employer's name on Form 8949. As a practical matter it probably isn't a big deal but I'd suggest deleting the sale and reentering it with the correct name attached.
If there was any compensation created by the sale, which can be the case even if the sale is "qualified", you should have continued right to the bitter end of the "Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other" interview, and not simply clicked away with entering the sale. That's where TurboTax asks the question "was this compensation reported on your W-2?"
