What happens when a federal worker accepts Trump's deferred resignation offer? (abcnews.go.com)

Here's how that process is going so far for at least one federal employee.

After receiving the offer, the employee -- who works at a federal agency -- told ABC News they were initially nervous and fearful about the prospect. But after thinking it over for about a day, they followed the instructions in the OPM email and replied with the word "resign" in the body and their name in the subject line, according to a copy of the email reviewed by ABC News.

"This is happening," the employee told ABC News. "I was scared, nervous, and excited all at the same time. Thought about it for a day I think. ... And I just told myself that I'm going to do it."

A few hours later, they received a response from OPM: "We received your email response. We will reply shortly," according to an email reviewed by ABC News.

Nearly a week later -- and days before the resignation deadline on Thursday -- that message is the last direct correspondence this employee has had with OPM about accepting the offer.

The employee said that inside their agency, there has been confusion among their colleagues and silence from management. When they informed management that they had accepted OPM's offer, they received no response, according to the employee.

Later, when they followed up with management, they were told they should have waited for more guidance before accepting the offer, they told ABC News.
