Definitely the first one. You can say "if you feel uncomfortable workING here", "if workING here makes you feel uncomfortable", or "if you find it uncomfortable TO WORK here", but the latter is unnecessarily wordy. It's UNcomfortable, not DIScomfortable.

Thank you very much!But I have a question.

Because , in my dictionary, "uncomfortable" and "discomfortable" mean the same.

So, does it sound odd to you if I say discomfortable?

What's the difference?

Yes, DISCOMFORTABLE is not a word I've ever heard. I only ever use DISCOMFORT (noun) and UNCOMFORTABLE (adjective).
