What my company used to do, person A asks for higher hour rate. Manager can't get approval from his manager.

Person A quits, but is told you can always apply for the job again. Request for a new hire is made, people show up, also person A. In the end person A is hired for a better hour rate.

I do know a scrum coach that tried this only to be not hired because person B showed up and they liked him more.

I wouldnt try that without a guaranteed fall&back job offer.
Nice try for person A though.
