ok, maybe i shouldn't have said that.
i almost never do anything with my supervisor other than review time (he does my review).
I actually attend more meetings with my division manager and prepare papers with him more often than my supervisor. the division manager is my supervisor's boss as well obviously.

how about now?
In one previous position, where I had several bosses that I reported to, I addressed the resignation letter to the highest in command via the others and listed them by rank (descending order). For example, I worked under supervisor, then a Lt, then chief. So I addressed the letter to the chief via the lt via the supervisor. This was a state gov job several years ago and that's how I was told to do it when I very discreetly asked an HR rep.
i've been told that regardless of the interactions, the right thing to do would be to go through the correct chain of command....which would mean going to the supervisor.
I always go to my direct supervisor unless he isn't there then I go up the chain.
you are quitting so if it is really a concern follow the chain. Unless you think your super would bad mouth you to his boss then I might go to his boss first jsut to make sure you are leaving on good terms. But in most cases I think your immediate supervisor is your best bet. You don't want to offend anyone
