You need to speak to your boss. If your not happy then you wont do your best or be motivated. They wont want an unhappy employee.

I have a similar situation. I started a new job a month ago but I really dont enjoy it and I know its not for me. I spoke to my boss tellling her how I felt I wasnt the right person for the job. She said she wants her staff to be happy and sometimes it just doesnt work out.

Im staying until I find a new job though because I cant afford not to be working.

Just be brave and speak to your boss about ur concerns. Its horrible when u are miserable in your job. It dominates you life.
