That might work if you're getting recruited by a company - but if you're already in a "butt-in-seat" arrangement, you're going to have to bring up a value add for them to contemplate changing things (especially if everyone else in the office is happy with their butt-in-seat arrangement).
It's tough to renegotiate a position if you're simply just asking for things and not giving up any sort of consideration or adding some benefit to for the other party.

Consideration is I don't quit. It's hard but true. Personally I've walked away from a couple jobs when they tried to reel me back in house.
If they value my contributions, they'll have my efforts, if not, they won't.
