I report to the supervisor, but I also report to the supervisor's boss, the big boss. Who should I go to first?

You should write a letter of resignation, giving at least one week notice (2 weeks is better or whatever company policy may be) and hand deliver a copy to both supervisors. I would start with your supervisor and inform her that you have a second copy intended for her boss. That way there won't be any cross overs and miscommunication. I would state my honest reasons for leaving and leave on the best of terms.

As others have noted, chain of command rules in most business situations: give your supervisor your resignation in writing; it's also nice to hand it to them if possible and tell them why you're leaving and thank them for the opportunity.
You can copy the Big Boss on the letter - put that "cc" at the bottom of the letter so the supervisor knows. But you can also jot a personal "thanks" to the Big Boss on her/his copy.

Write out a 2 weeks notice and give it to your supervisor...He/She will pass it on to the parties needed. During the 2 weeks time, everyone that needs to know should know and if not, it's not your fault because you gave it to your supervisor.

They are correct...Write a resignation letter with a minimun of two weeks notice should go to your supervisor, Human Resources and your boss that hired you...Even thought he will be notified by H.R. anyway.....I will stop by later on to talk to your hiring boss and thank him for the opportunity...Never bad mouth the company, just thank him for the opportunity and move on...Leave your bridges open..you never know what life can throw at you.

The big boss, he or she hired you. Not your supervisor, although if you are friendly with the super, you take he or she aside and tell them you are planning to leave. But you have to see the big guns.

I would write a letter of resignation and give a copy to your direct supervisor and the human resources department.

Look at it in a military style. There is a chain of command. Start with your immediate supervisor and then work your way up as needed.

Your direct supervisor should always be the first to know.
