This is not an unusual situation. I have worked in this type of "matrix" organization for my entire career.

It sounds like you need to ask some simple questions.

First off, are these "bosses" functional managers, responsible for resource assignments, evaluations, promotions,etc. OR are they project managers responsible for schedules, milestones, resource determination (identifying what resources are needed and working to get those resources from the functional managers).

Without knowing you situation in detail, I am fairly confident that you have just 1 functional manager that will be responsible for your evaluations, employee type issues, etc.
You can easily have two or more project managers that you are required to work for, supporting each managers project. In that case, you do need to make it clear (or have it clarified for you) how much of your week is supposed to be spent working each project. Sometimes I find myself working 20% on 1 project and 80% on another. Typically you will have different charge numbers for your timecards so that this allocation of time can be properly billed to the corresponding project status.

I would recommend that you do not jump ship for this reason. You are likely to encounter it again. If you have other reasons for leaving your company, then you have some decisions to make. Keep in mind that the additional project may bring some variety and greater satisfaction to your job.

Just my two cents.
