Amazon revealed fresh global job cuts after an internal email was sent to workers in error.
Employees at Amazon Web Services received a cancelled meeting invite containing a draft layoff message.
The email wrongly said affected staff in the US, Canada, and Costa Rica were already informed.
Senior vice-president Colleen Aubrey signed the message, calling the cuts “Project Dawn”.
Amazon cut 14,000 corporate roles in October and continues reducing pandemic-era hiring.
Chief executive Andy Jassy has warned AI may replace some white-collar roles.
The news followed similar cuts announced by United Parcel Service, which plans to cut up to 30,000 jobs.
