It is always better to try to work something out rather than to take an inflexible stand. You have been at your job for 1 and a half months/during which time your co-worker was out with an injury. We have no way of knowing what happened to her! You are new to each other.
As a manager, someone new that comes into a job and is not flexible gets a bad name. You do not have any senority. You can always make a stand but must ask yourself, in this economy is your mirror worth more than the possibility of losing your job? If they hire "at will" this means that they can fire with no cause at all. Of course none of this is fair but it it the way it is.
Every day in our stressful, overloaded work environments, my co-workers and I use as our mantra: Pick your battles.
Just giving you another perspective to think about.
