In other words, say if I want to work in Germany, do I need to speak German? If I want to work in Greece, do I need to speak Greek? etc etc. Thanks.

Maybe not, but it sure helps a lot!
2 :
in many cases not really, since english is pretty much understood worldwide. but learning the national language where you want to work would be preferable

It depends on the job. If you'll work with people who speak your language, that wouldn't be so much trouble. But anyways, you'll need to interact with the natives, so, I'd say: yes, it's necessary.

Yep sure is. The United States of America is the only place on earth where you don't need to speak a word of the country's language or assimilate in any other way. We are supposed to accommodate anything any one else does in this country. We wouldn't want to offend anyone, now would we?

i wouldnt hire you if you didnt speak german. i wouldnt suggest you coming here at all, without speaking the language, even though english is spoken almost everywhere. i mean seriously, you dont have to speak it perfectly (or not even good, i dont care), but i just think it´s very disrespectful to live and/or work in any country without being able to communicate unless you´ve got a real reason for it (such as falling in love with someone there or sth like that)
