SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 22 (Reuters) - ‌Amazon is planning a second round of job cuts next week as part of its broader ‌goal of trimming some 30,000 corporate workers, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The total this time is expected to be roughly the same as last year and could begin as soon as Tuesday, the people said, who asked ‍not to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss ‍Amazon’s plans.
