No thanks. (I am not in the USA, I am in a country where on-competes must be paid for and short)
Exemptions and carve out will be used for (and politically paid for, with the mind bending official bribery system the USA runs in politics) by the powerful to consolidate their power. Small firms have a lot of power over their employees.
Small firms have to give their employees a reason to work for them, money is part of the picture, and small companies have to be well capitalised to pay competitive salaries. But small companies need to be places people want to work.
Giving employees the power to contract an employee into not quitting is a recipe for very bad behaviour.
In my experience the best and the worst employers are small firms. We need more of the best and fewer of the worst, laws that incentivise being bad do not help
