Last month another 225 workers were laid off, to add to the 1,700 furloughed earlier this year when some production was moved to overseas plants. Because of Atari's woes, its parent company, Warner Communications, lost $18.9 million during the first three months of 1983, and Warner Chairman Steven Ross, 55, says an even bigger loss is coming in the second quarter.
