Hi Cecilia:

I'm not clear on why you want to leave. You have an increased salary and a
job you (mostly) enjoy. Are the other employees causing problems? Is their
incompetence effecting your performance? What other factors are motivating
you to move on? If you can, take up theses issues with your boss, and see if
they can be resolved before you do anything hasty.

If you are inclined to move on to a new position, you'll need to have all
this figured out before you go interviewing. "I left my last job after three
weeks, because ... my co-workers were incompetent" may not fly, unless you
have specifics.
