Amazon revealed fresh global job cuts after an internal email reached workers by mistake.
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 had already been informed.
A senior executive described the layoffs, called Project Dawn, as necessary for future success.
Amazon already announced 14,000 corporate cuts in October and continues to trim pandemic-era hiring.
Chief executive Andy Jassy has warned AI could replace some white-collar roles.
The news followed plans by United Parcel Service to cut up to 30,000 jobs this year.
