I remember Meyer being asked about the perceived conflict of interest with him voting on SB21 while being employed by Conoco Phillips. He said that there was no conflict of interest. That he wasn't management and wouldn't gain anything based on his vote. 

He also stated that he was treated like any other employee at Conoco Phillips. 

On the first point, his employer does influence his vote. If he doesn't think so, he should try promoting the repeal of SB21 and see how his employer reacts. I bet budget cuts would unfortunately result in his position being cut.

And the statement that he's just like any other employee at Conoco Phillips, I beg to differ. What other line employee at Conoco takes three or more months off a year? How necessary is your job if your employer can afford to have you gone for three or more months  months a year. Do any of his coworkers get to do this? I really doubt it.

So, surprise, surprise. He is hugely influenced by his employer regardless of what he says.
